Concerts in the Courtyard

Mile of Music Presents: Concerts in the Courtyard! This event showcases top up-and-coming bands and singer-songwriters from music hotbeds throughout the country, with local and regional artists blended in.

The music is FREE every Wednesday at the Red Lion Paper Valley Hotel courtyard (333 W. College Avenue) in Downtown Appleton, and offers an early-evening music choice for downtown workers and local music fans. The Courtyard opens for seating at 5 pm and the music starts at 5:30, ending around 7:30 pm. This is a rain or shine event – in the event of inclement weather, the music moves inside the hotel.
