Music Holidays

Music Holidays celebrate our passion for music, honoring a variety of genres, legendary musicians, and the vibrant industry that fuels music creation. Music bridges us to diverse cultures and enriches our lives in countless ways. These musical holidays remind you to always express that tune in your head and rhythm in your step. Music has never been a language of barriers; instead, it builds bridges. The arts unite cultures and contribute positively to the economy. Music uniquely transcends time, bridging the past and bringing different generations together. It’s truly a wonderful feeling to be that bridge to history and harmony. We are the bridge that creates music opportunities through creatively engineered grants!

September 2025 Music Holidays

  • September is Classical Music Month, a time to appreciate how music has changed over the years. Classical music includes several periods, each with its own style. This genre focuses on orchestral melodies, making it different from today’s music. However, modern music would not exist without the influence of classical music.

  • International Country Music Day is on September 17. It is a day filled with festivals, concerts, dances, and many other activities that celebrate country music. This genre is a key part of American culture. While some people joke that country songs are only about losing a dog, a truck, a job, or a girlfriend, the genre actually has a wide range of topics and styles. From classics like Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin’" to modern hits like Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup," there is something for everyone. On International Country Music Day, enjoy the diverse offerings of country music.

  • The Elvis Festival in Porthcawl takes place on the third weekend in September, with this year’s event scheduled for September 23 to 25. Thousands of Elvis fans, dressed in white jumpsuits and suede shoes, come from around the world to join in this major celebration of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Fans gather to share their love for Elvis and remember his legacy through discussions and music. The festival also features many activities, including art exhibitions about Elvis, themed fashion contests, and more, keeping everyone entertained.

  • National One-Hit Wonder Day is on September 25. Music journalist Steve Rosen created this day in 1990 to celebrate artists who had a brief moment of fame but have been forgotten since then. While these artists may not be well-remembered, their hit songs live on in our memories. You might forget your best friend’s birthday, but you'll always remember the chorus of ‘Ice, Ice Baby.’ These songs are linked to special moments in our past, and thinking about them helps us reconnect with who we used to be.
