Day of Music Fullerton is a unique festival of FREE concerts and activities in select venues throughout the city of Fullerton, California on June 21st, during the Summer Solstice. DOMF takes place simultaneously with similar festivities, currently in more than 1,000 cities globally in alliance with the internationally renowned Make Music Day — the music festival heard around the world.

Completely different from a typical music festival, DOMF is open to anyone who wants to take part, and they have a venue to play in. Musicians of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions – from classic rock to hip hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock – perform in parks, restaurants, bars, non-profit clubs, and more. From high school bands to marquee names, DOMF is performed by anyone, enjoyed by everyone. |
DOMF was born out of Fête de la Musique, also known as World Music Day, is an annual music festival taking place on June 21, the first day of summer in cities around the world. The concept of an all-day musical celebration on the days of the solstice, was originated by American musician Joel Cohen, who spent two seasons as a producer of musical radio programs for the French National Radio (France Musique). The idea later was adapted as a national celebration each June 21 in France and made official by the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang. The festival is now celebrated in over 110 countries.
