The free celebration of music takes place in 125 countries on the 21st June every year.
As part of the celebrations, Bradford Libraries will be hosting a number of performers in libraries across the District.
Make Music Day is the UK’s largest single-day music festival, encouraging musicians, producers, promoters and music lovers to collaborate and organise in-person and online performances in and for their communities. Since beginning as Fête de la Musique in France in 1982, Make Music Day has grown into a global phenomenon that takes place annually in 125 countries, always on 21 June. Solo performers, groups and music creators of all types are invited to take part, regardless of age, ability or musical genre.
All the performers in our libraries are local and responded to a call out to join in the celebration of Make Music Day.
All these events are free so please do come along and enjoy the music.
