Make Music Day

Issaquah's Downtown comes alive! Make Music Day (Summer Solstice) is one of Issaquah’s happiest jam sessions. On the summer solstice, musicians of all ages and styles fill downtown streets, parks, and public spaces with free music from morning to night, turning downtown into one big, welcoming stage. It’s a day that feels joyful and spontaneous. Neighbors stop to listen, kids dance, and local musicians get a chance to shine. The music draws people into downtown shops and restaurants, adding energy throughout the day. Make Music Day captures what Issaquah does best—bringing people together, celebrating creativity, and turning everyday places into moments worth remembering. Historic Downtown Issaquah celebrates the 13th Anniversary of Make Music Day with multiple music stages and interactive elements set up all around Downtown Issaquah. Join us on June 21st from 4 to 8 pm where local musicians of all ages are welcome to try out their musical talents. Plan to stroll around and listen to the music! Check out what Make Music Day is all about! Stay tuned for 2026!
