Maplewoodstock is completely independent\, run by a small team of passionate locals who volunteer nearly year-round (except for a well-deserved break in August) to make this unforgettable weekend happen. It’s funded solely through sponsorships\, merchandise sales\, ad revenue\, and community contributions—not your taxes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🎶 Live Music That Moves You\n\n\n\nEach year\, local\, regional\, and national acts take the professional stage\, with genres ranging from indie rock and funk to jazz\, soul\, and global beats.

It’s the perfect place to support small businesses and find a one-of-a-kind treasure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🍔 Food\, Drinks & Vibes\n\n\n\nYou won’t go hungry at Maplewoodstock. The park transforms into a global kitchen with local vendors offering everything from BBQ and vegan wraps to frozen treats and festival favorites. Grab a drink at the Beer Garden\, a favorite hangout for adults looking to cool down and kick back. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n👧 Family Fun in the Kids Zone\n\n\n\nThis festival isn’t just for grownups. The Kids Zone is packed with activities to keep little ones entertained—face painting\, crafts\, rides\, games\, and more. It’s a safe and welcoming space where families can relax and enjoy the day together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n✨ Our Mission\n\n\n\nMaplewoodstock’s core mission is simple:To bring people together through music\, art\, and community.We’re committed to showcasing local talent\, fostering creative expression\, and keeping the event accessible and free of politics\, advertising gimmicks\, and outside agendas.
