Make Music Federal Way takes to an outdoor stage in just a few days.

Sponsored by the Federal Way Lions Club, Make Music Federal Way is from 4-8 p.m. June 21 at the PAEC Plaza (31510 Pete von Reichbauer Way South).

This free event unites musicians and provides an opportunity for kids of all ages to enjoy live music as the community takes part in this global celebration on the first day of summer.

Virtual events will also take place on social media, such as “cellphone solos.”

Attendees are asked to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Multi-Service Center. For a bite to eat, two food trucks will be on site at the event.

Make Music Federal Way is planning an ensemble from A Touch of Class Swing Band, live music presented by the Federal Way School of Music youth, 1960s music from the Marine Hills Folk Jam, trumpet solos from Emerald Downs’ Daniel Harrington, and marching music presented by the youthful Washington Diamonds Drill Team and Drumline, according to project manager Jan Barber of Make Music Federal Way.

On June 15, the City of Federal Way proclaimed June 21 as Make Music Federal Way Day and encourage all residents to celebrate the joy of making music.

The one-day festival “involves musicians, bands, and ensembles from a diverse array of styles and genres, creating an opportunity to unite through the language of music,” the proclamation reads in part.
