Main Street Aurora is hosting nearly 100 musicians at 12 locations throughout downtown Aurora
(Aurora, Ind.) - “Play Music on the Porch Day” began with the question, “What if for one day everything stopped…And we all just listened to the music?”
In its 12th year, “Play Music on the Porch Day” is a worldwide event held the last Saturday of August. Annually there are 1100+ registered cities in 70 countries and Aurora was added to the worldwide map by Main Street Aurora.
Whether a solo act or group of 10, Main Street Aurora is hosting nearly 100 musicians at 12 locations throughout downtown Aurora. The event starts at 1:00 p.m. and continues until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 29.
“We are thrilled to have nine groups returning for the fourth year in a row,” said Debbie Fehling, Main Street Aurora President and Event Chairman.
“Music goes beyond words. It can transcend the most difficult barriers. It ties us together like a thread through our hearts,” said founder Brian Mallman, a Milwaukee-born, Los Angeles-based artist.
If you’re unable to make it to Aurora, musicians are encouraged to play on their porches, in their yards, “no porch necessary” just find a place to gather and celebrate music.
