Our final artist announcement is here: the Mile of Music Music Education Team! 🎶🥁 These artists and educators create authentic, engaging opportunities for people of all ages to learn, connect, and make music together throughout the festival.

A huge thank-you to the partners who make these experiences possible: Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, FCASA Stadium Fund, Mile of Music, Inc., Creative Imprint, Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Heid Music, and Lawrence Community Music School.
