An eagerly awaited cultural event is set to grace the streets of downtown Boerne on May 3, as Music On The Mile makes its triumphant return. This vibrant festival aims to captivate both locals and visitors alike with a day filled with melodious tunes and lively activities. The organizers, Nancy and Paul Holekamp, have decided to host this year's event independently, creating an additional attraction for the community. Nancy, a seasoned retailer with over three decades of experience in running The Corner Cartel, brings her vision and passion to this initiative. "We are enthusiastic about bringing people into town through events like these," Paul expressed. "It’s an opportunity to showcase our charming downtown area and encourage more engagement."

The decision to move Music On The Mile earlier in the month was influenced by last year's sweltering temperatures during the Art Waddle weekend. By scheduling it for the first weekend in May, the organizers hope to enjoy more favorable weather conditions. The event will feature continuous live music performances from noon until evening, spanning across various stages throughout the city. Venues such as Black Rifle Coffee Company, The Richter, Brantley’s 259 Bar, and others are expected to participate once again, along with some new additions. "We believe this event benefits not only the community but also provides local musicians with valuable exposure," Paul added.

This festival serves as a testament to the thriving arts scene in Boerne. By fostering creativity and community spirit, it highlights the importance of supporting local talent and businesses. As venues finalize their participation and bands prepare to take the stage, anticipation builds for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music and culture. The success of Music On The Mile underscores the value of community-driven initiatives that enrich the lives of residents and attract visitors to experience the unique charm of Boerne.
