Join Portage County musicians as they transform alleys, bus stops, parking spaces, and plazas in downtown Stevens Point into performance venues! Musicians will take turns performing at 10 different locations, generating a massive amount of public music. Make Music Day invites musicians of all skill levels and genres to perform, either alone or as part of a small group.
