Make Music Verona

media release: ART House 360 is proud to announce Verona’s first-ever Make Music Day, a free, city-wide celebration of live music and community connection. The event will take place on Saturday, June 21, with performances from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Century School Park and 1–4 p.m. at ART House 360, located at 401 West Verona Avenue. Ian’s Pizza is offering free slices of pizza while they last.

Taking center stage at 12 noon will be Verona’s own Paige Kleber, a 12-year-old singer-songwriter who recently won the 2025 Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) Rising Star Award. Kleber, who wowed audiences singing the National Anthem at a Milwaukee Bucks game last December, will perform at the Century School Park Bandshell.

Musician/actor and Verona native Asiah Doyle is the day’s MC and will perform as well. The festivities begin with a special Musical Storytime hosted by the Verona Public Library at 10 a.m., followed by a wide variety of musical acts representing all ages and genres. Performers include Eric Joseph, Joe Iaquinto, Music Con Brio, The Farleys, Wendy & Marcia, the Verona Area Community Orchestra, Glen Obear, Brian Clark, and many more.

ART House 360 will host an Open House/Open Mic from 1 to 4 p.m., featuring performances by local musicians and offering self-guided tours of the new nonprofit multicultural art space in Verona’s historic 1917 schoolhouse.

For lunch, enjoy a free slice of Ian’s Pizza! Ian’s Pizza is the generous sponsor of the Main Stage as part of their commitment to fueling connection and community through joyful, shared experiences. Milio’s is the proud sponsor of the performers’ green room.

At 2 p.m., join Sally Fitzsch for some foot-stomping line dancing at the park.

Evening performances will keep the music going into the night with live sets at Lake Louie Brewing (6–9 p.m.) and Paddy Mac’s (starting at 7 p.m.).

Verona joins more than 150 cities nationwide participating in Make Music Day, a global celebration with over 5,000 free live events across the U.S. Verona is adding its own local flair with a “Pedal & Play” theme—community members are encouraged to decorate their bikes with music-making gear to keep the good vibes rolling across town.
