City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said Make Music Month was a testament to the rich cultural fabric of our city and encouraged everyone to take part.
“It’s where community spirit and musical talent come together to create something truly special. From our local legends to emerging artists, Make Music Month is all about celebrating the sounds of our city,” he said.
