Looking for a fun and inexpensive family event this summer? Ashley Furniture Inc. is holding its annual Ashley for the Arts festival in Arcadia, Wisconsin, on Aug. 12-14.

While the whole lineup hasn’t yet been revealed, some of the main acts have already been announced. Expect top-notch performances by Jefferson Starship, Foreigner, Kip Moore, and Toby Keith on Friday, Aug. 13, followed by Clare Dunn, Switchfoot, Barenaked Ladies, and Little Big Town on Saturday, Aug. 14. If that variety of music sounds attractive, you can purchase tickets online now for only $20 for the whole weekend.

Ashley for the Arts is a nonprofit initiative that donates to many schools, children’s charities, and medical research organizations. This event was established in 2009 and – to this day – is one of Wisconsin’s biggest charity events. In 2019, the festival donated more than $590,000 to about 60 nonprofit groups. (Like countless other events, the 2020 Ashley for the Arts was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.)

In addition to all the live music, there will be petting zoos, arts and crafts fair, an inflatable air park, and more. Keep up with lineup updates and COVID-19 recommendations at the Ashley for the Arts Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AshleyForTheArts.
