Bonfire Music & Arts Festival returns to the scenic Driftless Music Gardens in Yuba, Wisconsin, for its ninth year of live music, art, and community gatherings. From Thursday, June 12 through Saturday, June 14, attendees are invited to camp beneath star-filled skies, enjoy a lineup of national and regional acts, and participate in an array of workshops and family-friendly activities.

In the Bleak Midwinter, snow has fallen—snow on snow—and the sun hides behind the grey clouds for days at a time. The mind wanders to tropical coasts with warm sunshine and green vegetation, preferably with calm waves lapping on the shore. Bands have been putting on winter concerts in the sunnier climes for years, but what about the rest of us? We forlorn fans who do not possess the time or considerable funds to attend such a show—are we destined to trudge through the snow wanting for spring? And what of our favorite bands confined to cramped indoor venues till the sun returns to the sky?
