On this year’s Summer Solstice, McMinnville joins the Fête de la Musique bandwagon.
Since it launched in France in 1982, Make Music Day has spread to 120 countries around the globe and is celebrated in thousands of cities. The concept and execution is simple: Musicians hit the streets, courtyards, open-air markets and parks around town, and they play until the sun goes down.
Merrill Denny stands in his rural workshop southeast of McMinnville. Old bikes, some dating back more than 60 years, are heaped in corners. In the middle of the workspace is a curved creation perhaps eight feet long, shaped from steel and welded to represent Merrill’s passion.
Expect lectures and Powerpoint. But hang out on Third Street Saturday afternoon and you’ll also be treated to a sea of Wookies, Greys, probably lots of Baby Yodas and maybe even a Gorn. Culturally speaking, the festival is what one might call a … well, hybrid.
We were delighted to host @marleyblonsky in McMinnville! Here’s what she had to say about her visit. “Sometimes I forget that amazing adventure, world-class gravel riding, and spectacular hospitality can be found in my own backyard! Before my cross-country move to Arkansas I decided to explore one of these hidden gems, McMinnville, Oregon. I packed up my bikes and drove about an hour south of Portland to McMinnville, where I stayed at the amazing @atticushotel , enjoyed a wine tour by bike with @winederoads , and checked out this historic little town! Thanks for the hospitality @visitmcminnville #sponsored “
