Merchants and residents throughout the Village of Peninsula welcome musicians to their porches to “make a joyful noise” and fill the valley with music of all genres throughout the day and into the evening.

We welcome you to stop by, take a workshop, bring your favorite picnic blanket or chair to sit and listen to music, take in a concert, visit our shops and galleries, come spend a day in our village!
