Appleton’s Downtown – an amazing mile of safe, walkable and hospitable experiences – is the host of Mile of Music. The Mile has so much to offer, from craft shops to restaurants, cafes, and bars, all exhibiting the original, hand-crafted flavor that makes Appleton unique. Come join us for the full Mile of Music weekend, August 2-5, 2018, to experience Appleton at its best.
Mile of Music is a cover-free zone, which has a dual-meaning. We’re all about original, hand-crafted artistry, and we’re eager to serve up singer-songwriters, combos and multi-piece bands showcasing Americana music at its very best. The festival features hundreds of artists with musical backgrounds from roots and indie rock to country, soul, R&B, jazz and folk, all performing their own original music. And you know what the best part is? It’s all FREE. Plus, there are plenty of free, hands-on Music Education Team events available for all ages throughout the festival to awaken your inner musician.
