Day of Music Fullerton is a music festival that anyone can musically participate in, and will still occur on June 21. In response to COVID-19 live performances will be broadcast virtually in a variety of ways.
For 6 years, Day of Music Fullerton (DoMF) has offered music concerts across more than 40 venues in Fullerton and Orange County on June 21, during the Summer Solstice. DoMF takes place simultaneously with similar festivities, currently in more than 1,000 cities globally in celebration of Fête de la Musique.

Thank you City of Fullerton for continuing this annual event, even under today’s restrictions. We all look forward to live music returning to the City’s restaurants and bars soon!
The music history of America – or rather, the history of America – is never complete without recognizing the impact and legacy of Woodstock. Held on August 15-18, 1969 in the upstate New York town of Bethel and attended by more than 400,000 self-described hippies, flower children, and Aquarians, Woodstock is more than just a music festival but a defining event for the counterculture generation and a cultural and sociopolitical touchstone for the late 1960s.
The Fullerton Flash mob is planning to be there. Thanks for this update of the program.
