Today, the streets of NOOGA will be filled with music... It’s all a part of Make Music Chattanooga and the international celebration Make Music Day. 🎵

The annual event encourages musicians and “non-musicians” alike to come together in harmony and fill the streets, alleyways, and rooftops of Chattanooga with music.

Sounds fun, right?

In addition to over 40 concerts, the day will be full of workshops, dance parties, jam sessions + an electric guitar parade, all of which are free to the public.

"My goal is that in the future Chattanoogans just know that on June 21st we celebrate the first day of summer sharing and teaching music for free,” Taryn Balwinski, Make Music Chattanooga organizer said. “Just like how people just give out candy on Halloween."
