MAKE MUSIC NORMAL

Planned and Executed with the Town of Normal ● June 2019

Uptown Normal (Normal, IL)

Make Music Normal is an annual 2-day music festival that takes place in Uptown Normal in Normal, IL. At the 2019 festival, there were over 60 live performances on 6 stages, half a dozen food trucks, local pop-up vendors and over 3,000 attendees. This annual event is something that the local Bloomington/Normal community and Central Illinoians mark their calendars for every year!

I helped plan and execute Make Music Normal throughout my Spring 2019 Internship with the Town of Normal. At the end of June, I was able to see the event come to life by assisting my supervisor, who put the event on.
