🎶 Two Weeks to Make Music Day — Vermont, It's Time to Spread the Word 🎶

Sunday, June 21st — the summer solstice and the global day of free, live music — is just two weeks away. Towns across Vermont are gearing up to fill porches, parks, libraries, Main Streets, and bandshells with music, and we need every one of you to help carry the message.

📣 Performers, venue hosts, chapter organizers — here's how to help:
- Post about your event on Instagram and Facebook
- Tag so we can see it
- Or even better, add Make Music Vermont as a collaborator on your Instagram posts and Reels so it shows up on both feeds and reaches the whole state
- Share early, share often, share each other's posts
The more we amplify together, the more Vermonters will know where to find music on the 21st.

🗺️ The map is live. Head to the link in our bio (or makemusicvt.org) to see the full statewide schedule of performances — find a town, find a show, find your next favorite Vermont artist. There's something happening in nearly every corner of the state.

Whether you're a musician, a host, an organizer, or simply someone who loves live music — come out and enjoy the music on June 21st. This day belongs to all of us.

The more Vermonters who hear about it, the more porches, parks, libraries, and Main Streets fill with live music on Sunday, June 21st — the summer solstice and the global day of music-making. Radio still does what it has always done best: it carries the message into homes, cars, and workplaces all across the community.

🎶 Sponsor Spotlight: Thank You to Our Roadies 🎶

Make Music Day is free for everyone — and that's possible because of sponsors who believe in keeping it that way. Today we want to thank three partners supporting Make Music Vermont 2026:

🏦 Northfield Savings Bank — A community bank with deep roots in the towns where we'll be making music.
🏦 Bar Harbor Bank & Trust — Investing in the people and places that make Vermont, Vermont.
🎶 Grand Point Foundation — Born out of Grace Potter's long-running Grand Point North festival on the Burlington waterfront, GPF supports nonprofit and community organizations focused on arts education and cultural programming — and helps keep Vermont weird. We're honored to be part of that work.

Every contribution helps us spread the word about free, live music on porches, in parks, libraries, and Main Streets across the state on Sunday, June 21st. We're grateful for partners who show up for community.

Whether you're a musician, a venue, a town organizer, or a listener — there's a place for you on the solstice.
