Make Music Salem, held annually on June 21, transforms Salem into a hub for free musical performances, regardless of the weather conditions. Despite the rain, which drenched attendees, the spirit of the event remained vibrant. This year marked a shift as musicians were forced indoors at times, highlighting the unique challenges compared to previous years. Unlike most venues that charge performers, this event fosters community interaction and showcases local talent, allowing artists to gain exposure without financial barriers typically associated with music events. Sponsored by the nonprofit Salem Foundation, it's a celebration of music accessible for all.
Make Music Salem allows the performers to meet the community, share their music, and get exposure without the obstacles of paywalls or ticket fees.
The rain began as a downpour, water gushing from the sky like a faucet tap turned on full blast.
The free, normally outdoor event takes place annually in Salem on June 21, giving the bands and audience the opportunity to see as many performers as possible.
Performances take place on the sidewalk, in alleys, and in open-access areas, demonstrating a commitment to accessibility.
