Operation Adaption Strives to Bring Good Things TogetherAs the end of another semester draws closer to sun, fun, and warm temperatures, my daydreams become more of a reality. The first two things that come to mind when picturing summers in Milwaukee are trips to the beach and the eleven day music festival, Summerfest.
My eagerness for Summerfest's arrival elevates as it grows closer each day. Recently, I discovered Operation Adaption, a weekend long music festival not only supplying two days packed full of amazing music, but also using the music as a medium to join people together in support of environmentally friendly activities.
The entire stage will be powered by eight people riding stationary bikes. This includes everything from the instruments to the lights. In addition, one tree will be planted for every ticket sold, corn-based dishes and utensils are to be used, and recycling will be fully enforced.
This hidden treasure is located conveniently just 45 minutes away from Milwaukee in Sullivan, Wisconsin. It is set to take place April 18-19. What perfect timing! Operation Adaption is definitely an event that can help alleviate some of the anticipation for other Summerfest fans.
The festival will feature Willy Porter, Chinese Fingertrap, and Fat Maw Rooney, who have been recognized by Billboard Magazine, Tori Amos, and other popular names. Other musical talents who will be entertaining the crowds are as follows:
- Cosmic Railroad
- Groovatron
- Bryan CherrySummerfest
- Unity the Band
- Runside Down
- Heatbox
- Family Groove Company
- Sean Shiel
- Pert Near Sandstone
- Stealing Strings
Operation Adaption is truly a unique idea and should be a hit that will become a tradition for many who are extreme "go-greeners" or even those simply going for the music. Either way, anyone in attendance will be doing something excellent for our planet while having an unforgettable time.
