NEW YORK (AP) β Walking? Check. In a winter wonderland? Well, it marks the beginning of the season. Bells ringing? Sure, along with trumpets and some fiddles.
An outdoor musical celebration is marking the winter solstice on Sunday with just over a dozen small parades in locations around New York City. And it’s not just for watching β all are invited to join in, with bells, horns, their phones, even their feet.
Now in its fourth year, Make Music Winter is held on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. There are 13 parades being held at various times of the day in four of the city’s five boroughs.
Make Music founder Aaron Friedman says the event creates a sense of community.
