APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – The fourth Mile of Music festival began Thursday morning in downtown Appleton.
More than 70 venues will be hosting concerts during the weekend festival.
The sights and the sounds are certainly a good indication that Mile of Music is back in Downtown Appleton.
Donna Buchinger is from Little Chute. She’s taking in the tunes with her sisters.
“We’ve been down for every Mile of Music, and have enjoyed them. We weren’t going to miss out on any of it this year.”
Amy Peters is from Hollandtown
“We all love music, and we like meeting the artists, and it’s such an intimate setting that you actually do get to meet some of the artists.”
Mile of Music coordinators say more than 100 community sponsors help to make the event free, and accessible to a big crowd.
Dave Willems is the Mile of Music Cofounder
“It’s going to be a cool opportunity for our community to showcase itself again. It’s a nice way to connect music fans with our community, and we’re looking forward to doing it all weekend.”
Because the festival is free, event coordinators say it’s hard to measure how many people come each year.
