Apple Festival Music Match Fund

Over the last five years, The Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau has partnered with Kim and Quito Rymer/The Bayfield Inn on the Bayfield Apple Festival Music Match Fund. The fund, established in 2021 alongside former Bayfield Mayor Gordon Ringberg, allows our community, businesses, residents and friends to make a donation to exclusively support two music venues at Apple Festival. The Rymers have offered a grant match of $10,000.00 per year for five (5) years. 

This year, 2025, marks the last year of these matching funds. Your contribution to this fund is needed now more than ever! The funds directly support expanded music offerings across the Apple Festival grounds. 

Since the establishment of the fund, the Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau has been able to provide music at the Grandstand Stage and at Memorial Park all three days of the festival. Both venues feature local and regional artists.

Your contribution will make a difference as we work to find creative solutions to keep the beats going at Apple Festival for years to come. 

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at (715) 779-3335.
