Jones Park will be back as the biggest venue for the Mile of Music Festival this year.
It will also be the first event in the renovated park. Jones Park was closed for the past two festivals in downtown Appleton because of construction.
Festival co-founder Dave Willems thinks everyone will want to check it out.
The park will host concerts on the Friday and Saturday of Mile of Music. With Jones Park shut down organizers added the Washington Square stage for two years. Willems says they anticipate using that space again but maybe in a more fun and creative way.
The four-day event is from August 1st through the 4th.
