Appleton's Octoberfest Partners with MyStage Music to Launch Interactive Festival Guide Experience

Premier Wisconsin Festival Debuts Innovative Mobile App Feature to Enhance Visitor Experience with Interactive Maps, Vendor Discovery, and Artist Previews

Appleton's Octoberfest, one of Wisconsin's most celebrated festivals, announced its partnership with MyStage Music, Inc. to launch an enhanced digital experience through the MyStage app's new Festival Guides feature. This collaboration marks the inaugural deployment of MyStage's comprehensive festival navigation and discovery tools, designed to help attendees maximize their Octoberfest experience.

With hundreds of vendors, food trucks, arts and crafts merchants, musical performances, and family activities spanning the festival grounds, Appleton's Octoberfest selected MyStage's Festival Guides to provide attendees with an intuitive, mobile-first way to plan, navigate, and discover everything the event has to offer.

"We're thrilled to partner with MyStage to bring our attendees a more immersive and interactive festival experience," said Becky Bartoszek, President and CEO of the Fox Cities Chamber, the organization that puts on Octoberfest each year. "With the scale and variety of what we offer, we wanted to give visitors the tools to truly personalize their Octoberfest journey—from discovering new artists before they take the stage to finding that perfect craft booth or food truck."

The MyStage Festival Guide for Appleton's Octoberfest features:

  • Interactive Festival Map: Over 300 custom markers pinpointing event lineups, kids' activities, food and beverage locations, vendor booths, and key points of interest throughout the festival grounds
  • Event Lineup with Music Discovery: Complete performance schedules with integrated streaming music links, allowing attendees to preview artists before the festival and plan which performances to catch
  • Vendor and Activity Directory: Detailed information on hundreds of participating vendors, food trucks, artisans, and family activities

"As one of Wisconsin's premier festivals, Appleton's Octoberfest represents a great showcase for what MyStage can offer," said Craig Doriot, MyStage Music, Inc. "We are happy to collaborate with an innovative partner in the Fox Cities Chamber to better serve festival-goers to ensure they don't miss the moments that matter most to them."
