Milford, CT, June 2, 2021 — Milford joins Make Music Day by filling our streets with music. We encourage businesses and musicians to sign up and find a corner to strum, drum or sing on Monday, June 21, 2021. Make Music Day is a one-day event where free, live musical performances, opportunities to make music and other musical events take place around the world on the longest day of the year. Musical festivities in Milford are part of a global celebration of music making in over 750 cities inspired by France’s Fête de la Musique.

Milford invites everyone from professional musicians to people who have never picked up an instrument along with host businesses to join in the global music celebration by signing up here https://milford.makemusicday.org/. Please contact Julie Nash at jnash@milfordct.gov or call at 203-783-3230 for assistance.

“To fill our streets with music on the summer solstice will give an opportunity for friends, neighbors and others to come out and enjoy our community. Milford is filled with phenomenal talent and I look forward to hearing and seeing it all,” said Mayor Blake.

Music has been shown to strengthen social connectivity, reduce stress, lower blood pressure, stimulate memory, and is integral to a well-rounded, enjoyable life. By participating in Make Music Day, Milford encourages every form of music making.
