Campfire Conversation:
Eric, Ana, and Logan dive into Wisconsin’s bevy of summer music festival choices. Summerfest is a
dominant one, along the lakefront in Milwaukee, with over 600 performances across 11+ stages over 9
days. It embraces a variety of genres from the largest titans in the music industry to local and emerging
performers with niche audiences. We have a discussion with Sarah Pancheri, President of Summerfest,
to discuss what’s new and happening for 2023 as Summerfest runs June 22-24, June 29-July 1, and July
6-8 this year. But a plethora of other music festivals around Wisconsin invite you, including some major
country festivals: Country Fest in Cadott, Country Thunder in Twin Lakes, Country Jam in Eau Claire,
Country Boom in West Salem, the Hodag Country Festival in Rhinelander and more. We also discuss Mile
of Music, a unique festival in downtown Appleton with over 200 artists performing across 40 venues –
which cover about a mile. Rock, folk, Americana, and even bluegrass get covered with events like Rock
Fest in Cadott, the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival in Milwaukee (both the weekend of July 13-
15); the Blue Ox Music Festival and Eaux Claires, both in the Eau Claire area; events at Driftless Music
Gardens near Hillsboro and the Driftless Music Festival in Viroqua; the Sugar Maple Music Festival in
Madison; the unique Northwoodstock at Bent’s Camp west of Land O’Lakes, which we covered in a
bonus episode with Bent’s Camp; plus bluegrass festivals in Shawano, near Green Bay in Brown County,
and the Brittany Saylor Bluegrass Festival. There’s even Lifest, a Christian music festival near Oshkosh.
We have details on each in this episode to help you plan to attend your favorites!
