In addition to our yearly festival, we partner with a variety of local venues in bringing a variety of American roots performers to Madison. A portion of each show’s proceeds goes to help support the festival you know and love each summer!

If your band is going to be traveling through Madison and is looking for a gig, email us at iwannaplay@sugarmaplefest.org. We have venues with room for 50-200 people.

Sugar Maple Concert series events at the North St Cabaret are Vaccinated Only events and proof of Covid 19 vaccination must be shown for entry.
