WHERE: Wabeno, Wisconsin. Music performances will be held at the Wabeno Band Shell. On the green in front of the Logging Museum there will be an open-air art competition, as well as a food & drink concession. Several locations along North Branch Street (Hwy 32) will be open, including restaurants, bars and shops along the street.
Last year I played a later set under one of the picnic shelters as a local entertainer. Are you going to have music in the shelter again? Will you have an Open Mic stage as well?
Also what kind of music workshops are you thinking about?
I have enjoyed WAM Fest since it started. Congratulations on your 4th year.
Thank you,
Pat Schwenke

Hi Pat, We are trying something new this year. We have added a folk and local traditions and art to WAM Fest. This includes about 14 individuals demonstrating their art or performing a cultural tradition. For example, the Woodland Sky Native Dance company will take the stage and dance to illustrate a native story telling through dance. With that said, we have a full roster for this year. Sorry about that. Please keep us in mind for next season. Thank you for asking about us. –Mary Beck

Trying to find out if you would have any room for a Face Painter this year? I can also do Airbrushed T-shirts if I can get electricity. Thanks,
