Make Music Topanga Festival 2025

June 21 @ 11:00 am – 6:00 pm PDT

Make Music Day this year will be held at the TCC!!! We will need some volunteers! And would love to add a third stage and bring more of artist who have played in town with us for the last 4 years! Come make music with us on June 21st!

Over 1,000 cities around the world are expected to throw citywide music celebrations on June 21. Topanga will be one of them for the FIFTH year!

This will be a magical musical event, made by the community for the community…here’s the origin story:

It all started exactly years ago, in France.

In 1982, France’s Ministry of Culture dreamed up an idea for a new kind of musical holiday. They imagined a day where free, live music would be everywhere: street corners and parks, rooftops and gardens, storefronts, and mountaintops.

And, unlike a typical music festival, anyone and everyone would be invited to join and play music, or host performances. The event would take place on the summer solstice, June 21, and would be called Fête De La Musique. (In French, the name means both “festival of music” and “make music!”)

Amazingly enough, this dream has come true. The Fête has turned into a true national holiday: France shuts down on the summer solstice and musicians take over. Almost 8% of the country (5 million people) have played an instrument or sung in public for the Fête de la Musique.

Three decades later, the holiday has spread throughout the world and is now celebrated in more than 120 countries. In the U.S., the presenting sponsor is the NAMM Foundation
