Enjoy the longest sunset of the year lake-side at Madden's and support the Lakes Area Music Festival's Education Programs! Summer Solstice kicks off a musical summer in Brainerd with a celebration of great food and music. 

This annual fundraiser – complete with raffles and auctions – benefits our youth education programs, including the Music Mentors Project which brings professional musicians into the public schools of our region to inspire young musicians. As music lovers, we know the value of a music education and fostering a lifelong relationship with music.
