Maplewoodstock 2024

In case you haven't already, mark your calendars.  July 13 and 14, 2024.

Band lineups and Art and Food Vendor applications will be announced soon here and on our website and social media channels.

It's going to be great!

-- Bringing you free music, sunshine, smiles, and communal vibes since 2004.  The Maplewoodstock Volunteer Committee.

Well, it took us a while, but we finally posted and organized a photo set for every band that performed in 2023. Thanks to our longtime volunteer photographer Danny Goldstein (who normally prefers to be anonymous, but allowed us to give him a shout-out here) for these photos. Bands: feel free to use as you want; no credit needed. https://www.flickr.com/.../collections/72157721716753174/

Fantastic photos. I say we bring Danny back this year.

Danny is terrific and has been volunteering his services for many years.  We expect and look forward to seeing him in July!  Nearly 99% of the Maplewoodstock photos you see are his volunteer efforts.

so, Maplewoodstock, maybe among all your tsuris and attitude, you could find a sense of humor?

Comic Sans is a terrible thing to waste. 

I didn't know until now there's a worse type face than comic sans.

Thanks for getting the "in joke."  

Is it just moi, or does no comic sans sound redundant?

Nice poster.

Although the worst-kept secret in town, Maplewoodstock is proud to OFFICIALLY announce our 2024 headliners and featured acts.

Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country headlines the festival on Sunday night.

Remember Jones will bring Saturday night to a close.

Preceding each of those acts are local phenom The Tia Holt Experience on Sunday and Nation Beat on Saturday.

Read our full lineup at https://maplewoodstock.com/music

58 days away.

Our merch is now available.  We will be selling t-shirts and water bottles in the coming weeks on the sidewalk outside Greenway Market on Saturday mornings.  Do NOT wait to count on a purchase until our festival.  Your preferred style and size may be sold out by then.  (No joke; no upsell.)

AND ... our modest Maplewoodstock Festival would not happen without the support of many local sponsors, and -- almost even more importantly -- the volunteerism and contributions of so many local and talented and dedicated folks. Not meaning to forget anyone -- and we somewhat like to "keep the recipes in the kitchen" -- but https://www.facebook.com/mwchoi of http://www.openminddesign.com has contributed and helped design and produce our merch for many years. Shout out to him.

As always, avoid scammers:  follow https://maplewoodstock.com/merch/ and don't get fooled by other scammy links to sketchy sites.

Can I purchase a t-shirt online like I did last year?

I’ll try to get this working soon.  Or if anyone is in the area just message me - I’m right by Clinton school.

Thanks. 

Part of what makes Maplewoodstock special are the food offerings from our local restaurants and vendors. Many of these vendors have returned year after year to offer you everything from pad Thai to tacos ... from ice cream to Greek salads to smoothies ... lobster rolls to burger+fries.

I am starting to get queries about accessibility at Maplewoodstock.  Will there be handicapped parking available?  Will there be a drop off point for those with mobility issues who can't find near-by parking?

Accessibility parking will be the same area that we've had it in the past few years - on Dunnell by the train.  For a dropoff area - we could probably use the crosswalk space right by that parking.

Thank You.

What's a Sensory Activation Vehicle?

I am amazed at how much more thought has been given to accessibility needs this year.  The query I referred to above regarded accessibility seating at the event.  I was thrilled to see that two accessibility areas have been designated this year.  The new "deaf seating" area that will enable the hearing impaired to see the ASL interpreters is a wonderful solution to a problem which has existed for years.  The designation of an accessible seating area for the mobility challenged will make it possible for people who could not safely navigate Maplewoodstock in the past to be able to attend safely.  I have passed this information on to the person who made the query and suggested she contact the Maplewoodstock Committee to learn how she can obtain seating in the area.  If you choose to reply here, i will pass on the information.  Thank you again for the thought - and solutions - you have given to what has become a long standing problem for segments of the community that have felt excluded in the past.  Thank you too for posting the map of this year's layout of the event.  I didn't see it on the Maplewoodstock website.
