Celebrate the sounds of Indigenous creativity at the Heard Museum during Make Music Phoenix 2026!

We’re proud to be a Make Music Phoenix host venue! This free, all-ages event brings live music and storytelling to the Heard Museum campus throughout the day on Sunday, June 21. Come for the music, stay for the stories, and join in on this annual citywide celebration of music and community.

While you’re here, take the family to explore Molly of Denali: An Alaskan Adventure and cool off with a refreshing Prickly Pear Lemonade from the Cantina.
