Friday, June 21 at 10 a.m. – RANDOLPH – Randolph Village will celebrate International Make Music Day, a global annual event featuring free, live musical performances and events on the longest day of the year. This marks Randolph’s fifth Make Music Vermont celebration with a full day of free music programming for all. This year’s festivities are organized in collaboration with The Underground – Recording Studio and Listening Room, Chandler Center for the Arts, and the White River Craft Center.
Celebrating Randolph’s vibrant musical culture, the festival will showcase 13 diverse performances throughout the day. Chloe Powell, Chandler’s executive director, shares, “With the event falling on a Friday, we decided to go really big this year! We’re so excited to welcome Dobet Gnahore’. She knocked everyone’s socks off when she performed at Feast and Field in 2022, and we are so grateful for a matching grant from NEFA (New England Foundation for the Arts) to help bring her.”
New this year: A mainstage event in the Trillium Parking Lot, starting at 6 p.m. with performances by Krishna Guthrie Band, acclaimed Dobet Gnahore joined by her band, and a DJ set to close the night.
