Donations to ACM also help provide the artist care that makes Mile of Music a standout among all other festivals, and Appleton a favorite place for musicians to play.

“Watching my artists being taken care of, like they deserve to be, was paramount. They were so happy to be there and I heard, “This is my favorite festival of all time,” over and over again. I want artists who are on the road to experience the oasis that is Mile of Music.” Lara Supan, Vice President/Agent Fleming Artists

“Mile of Music was a perfect 10 y’all! Unbelievably well-thought-out and organized. The accommodations at the Hilton were perfect – at the center of the entire festival and easy to get to stages, get something to eat and parking were all super easy. I wouldn’t change a thing!” Curtis Heimburger, Mom Rock

Your donation to Appleton Community Music helps make all that possible!
