Downtown Statesville Development Corporation and The Iredell Arts Council are excited to bring Make Music Day Downtown Statesville to you! We are joining over 1,000 cities in 120 countries around the world to be a part of the biggest music celebration ever!

Be prepared to find music everywhere! There will be buskers on the street and music where you least expect it! The festival last year brought us the best surprises! There isn't a lot on the schedule because this is an organic music experience. Musicians are invited to just come and play. Many businesses have open invitations and haven't registered anything on the website.
