The shortest day of the year has been Make Music Day Winter in New York City for almost a decade now. Get this: there are 12 different musical parades around the city, open to everyone who wants to participate! And of course people can create their own unique making-music event or parade, as well! How fun!
Make Music Winter has been so great, it's spread nationwide and even a little bit worldwide. This year, there are open-to-anyone musical parades in Palm Desert (CA), Pasadena (CA), Philadelphia (PA), Pittsburgh (PA), Port Townsend (WA), and Provo (UT) - and that's just the U.S. cities starting with "P"! Also: Perth, Australia! Check out your own city at the Make Music Winter website.
If there are no parades in your own hometown, start the custom!
Here are a few sorts of making music in public that have paraded down NYC streets:
- electric guitarists
- medieval singers
- Puerto Rican Parranda percussionists
- people playing music with iPhones (?)
- handbell players
- musicians on bicycles
- trombone players
- people playing music on boomboxes
Also on this date:
National Flashlight Day in the U.S.A.(Celebrated on Winter Solstice)
(December 22, unless that day falls on a Sunday)
