STOUGHTON, Wis. (WMTV) – Music will fill the streets of Rotary Park and Downtown Stoughton this fourth weekend in July.
Several artists took the stage at the Catfish River Music Festival, the Stoughton Opera House Friends Association’s annual fundraising event.
The long-running free admission music festival is described by Stoughton residents as a “relaxed” atmosphere. However, while the festival itself may be relaxing, Stoughton Opera House director Bill Brehm said preparing for the event is hard work.
“It’s a huge effort to do events like this. A lot of people have events going on and so people understand. Just having everyone here and all the people showing up, it’s a bit like planning a party, and you start to like putting out snacks and things at home and you don’t know if someone will show up, and you get nervous, ”Brehm said.
The artists will be in the park until Monday. In addition to live music, the event features grocery carts and craft vendors.
