🎉🎶 We’re Just 6 Days Away… So Let’s Throw It Back! 🎶🎉

Before we turn up the volume at the 7th Annual APWA Music Festival, let’s take a moment to celebrate the unforgettable 6th Annual Festival, held on October 5, 2024 at Dokken Engineering in Folsom! 🎸🌟

👕 The tie-dye music festival shirts were a total hit — colorful, fun, and full of personality!
🍔🌭 Festival-goers were treated to burgers and hot dogs grilled and served by our very own Sacramento Chapter Past Presidents and EEF Trustees — a heartfelt act of service and giving back to the community. 🙌💙
🎶 With eight incredible bands lighting up the stage, the energy was nonstop from start to finish!

🎤 One of the most powerful moments of the day came from APWA National President Vic Bianes, who joined us in person and delivered an impassioned speech honoring the silent heroes of public works and the incredible impact our profession has on communities across the country. 👏

Thanks to your support, we raised over $4,000 for the APWA Education Endowment Fund (EEF) — the largest donation from any music fest to date! 🎓💙

🎶 Music Fest History 101 — Class Is In Session ✏️

Let’s rewind to 2017 when a brilliant—and musically inclined—APWA member, Jeff Cox, envisioned a festival where public works and AEC professionals could rock the stage 🎸 From that spark, the first APWA Music Festival launched with 5 bands and 300 attendees, blending infrastructure expertise with musical artistry.

Each year since, the event has grown, and in 2025, we’re excited to bring you our 7th Annual Music Festival, set for September 27 in Folsom — featuring 7 bands, a vibrant Kid Zone, a newly added Vintage Vinyl Record Market, and tunes played by the very professionals building our communities. 💽

This festival isn’t just about the music—it’s a community-powered celebration of public works with every beat supporting a cause. It’s FREE, family-friendly, and full of creative fun, with all proceeds benefiting the Chapter’s Education Endowment Fund, helping fund public works programs at local colleges and universities.

So bring your lawn chairs, your family (and even your pups on leashes!), and join us for a day of great music, community spirit, and purpose-driven fun. See you there!
