After more than two years of limited opportunities to gather and hear live music, the 19^th annual Sugar Maple Music Festival presents more than 10 mainstage performances August 5-6 at the beautiful W.G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park in Madison.

Audience engagement is what sets the Sugar Maple Music Festival apart, and this year, in addition to the mainstage performances and Roots & Reasons stage workshops, professional-musician-led jams and a variety of children’s activities are back.
