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.
