Waco is joining more than 175 U.S. cities (and 750+ worldwide) for Make Music Day—a global, open-door celebration of sound held each year on the first day of summer.

On Saturday, June 21, music will pop up across the city—from front porches and coffee shops to sidewalks, parks, and patios—culminating in a community-wide sunset finale at the Waco Suspension Bridge.

This isn’t a ticketed concert. It’s a citywide invitation. Anyone can perform. Any space can become a stage. All events are free and open to the public.

How to Get Involved:
Whether you want to perform, host a space, start a jam session, or simply enjoy the music, there’s a place for you.

This summer, a new tradition begins! Woofstock, the first annual music-filled fundraiser from the Humane Society of Central Texas, is hitting the stage on Saturday, June 21 at The Backyard Bar, Stage & Grill in Waco. Running from 4:00pm - 11:30pm, this all-day celebration is packed with heart, soul, and a whole lot of tail-wagging joy.

Woofstock is more than just a music festival - it’s a celebration of the unbreakable bond between humans and animals and the incredible sense of community that forms when we come together for a shared purpose. At the heart of the event is the belief that animals make us better, and that’s why this festival is designed for everyone who believes in the magic of the human-animal connection. As you explore the venue at The Backyard, you’ll find interactive art displays, laid-back activities, and moments designed to bring the community together.

With a genre-spanning lineup that includes Jon Muq, Sundae Drivers, The Bottomless, and more, the Woofstock stage is set to offer something for every music lover: rock, indie, country, R&B, and everything in between. Whether you come to catch your favorite act or experience something new, we know you’re going to want to stay for the full experience. Preview the full artist setlist on the Eventbrite ticket page (linked below) and start planning your perfect evening!

One highlight you won’t want to miss: a legendary Air Guitar Contest, where participants can compete for a $500 cash prize! Just add the $10 contest entry when purchasing your ticket, and you’ll be rockin’ your way to possible glory—no guitar required. Woofstock is for guests 16+, but we haven’t forgotten our littlest animal lovers. While they’ll have to sit this one out, we hope they’ll be cheering from home - maybe even coaching your air guitar routine!

$25. Tickets can be purchased here.
