Make Music Day 2026: Community Showcase (Hickory)

Make Music Catawba County is an all-day, open-access, free “do it yourself” festival taking place across Catawba County on June 21st every year. Participation is encouraged from all ages, genres, and abilities…from indie rock to bluegrass to a cappella, from music students to professional artists and everything in between.

Make Music Catawba County’s primary goals are to provide an equal platform for musicians of all skill levels, interests, and walks of life, and to inspire the next generation of musicians through innovative outreach programming.

This celebration is not limited to residents of Catawba County, but invites music enthusiasts from everywhere to come participate by performing or attending.
Join us to ring in the Summer Solstice, as part of an international event with its heart and soul in our local creative community!
