CANCELED: New Glarus Music Festival

press release: Music Fest 2020 on Memorial Day Weekend has been cancelled.

We will look into options of possibly doing a smaller music event once the pandemic subsides. We will continue to work on other fundraising events as well. Follow the New Glarus Youth Committee and New Glarus Music Fest on Facebook for updates. Thank you to our sponsors and patrons for your continued support. We hope to see you at our next event once we are able to safely resume activities.

New Glarus Music Fest, the annual entertainment event produced by the New Glarus Youth Committee, is Memorial Day weekend Friday night, May 22, & Saturday - Sunday, May 23 - 24, 2020. Music Fest is beyond the confines of a singular tent and the entire village is invited to get involved.

The Youth Committee is inviting retail outlets, restaurants, taverns, etc. to host musical acts over the course of the weekend. Musicians will play at participating businesses with headliners later in the evenings. Businesses may have a polka band, guitar-player, violinist, rock band, etc. The more unique, the better! It’s about presenting music in any form. 

The New Glarus Youth Committee raises funds for scholarships, the annual Fifth Grade Field Trip to Chicago, Lunch with Santa, the Krafty Kids Summer Program, Post Prom Party and a “matching funds” program for projects led by New Glarus youth.

Any business that would like to take part in this year’s Music Fest as a venue, a musical act or as a sponsor can contact the Youth Committee at ngyouthcomm@gmail.com or facebook.com/NewGlarusMusicFest.
