Description

The Milaca Homegrown Music Fest is a one day music festival at Rec Park in Milaca, Minnesota. Music, food trucks, and a beer garden. What is the Milaca Homegrown Music fest? And how did this come about? The Milaca Homegrown Music Fest is the brainchild of Maddy Braun. After playing in the area for 2 years and networking with all the local musicians, Maddy came to realize what a musically rich community we live in. The amount of musicians in the area for the population is truly impressive. The music program at the school in Milaca is second to none, thanks to Band Directors Andy Nelson and Martin Garber. Milaca boasts the largest Marching Band in the state! Close to a third of the musicians playing in this festival are former students of Nelson and Garber. So, it all began with a thought. "Let's put a bunch of the local talent together in a one day event." Easier said than done. Schedules of some artists fill up a year in advance. And where would we do this? Well, Milaca does have a beautiful band shell in Rec Park. Ok, artists and venue. Time to white board this and see if it is even possible. And here we are! This years musical acts are as follows: 12:00-1:00 Merchants of Soul 1:30-2:30 Thryll 3:00-4:00 FastTrack 4:30-6:00 Dram Shop Country 6:30-8:00 The Cole Allen Band 8:30-10:00 The Maddy Braun Band
