Thank you Maplewoodstock organizers and volunteers!

What a great weekend!  We couldn't stay until the very end but we loved this year's Maplewoodstock.

The bands were varied in style but all were enjoyable.  The committee did an excellent job!

After all the **** that has happened this week it was a relief to spend a fun, friendly, and peaceful weekend with our SOMA neighbors.  

The new arrangements for the booths and canopies seemed to work well.  

It was so wonderful to look around both days and see the hill covered with people.  Also, most people seemed to come for large portions of the day/evening, not just stopping by to save space to see the "headliner."

Yes - thank you to everyone who volunteered their time.  The beer garden was a blast!

Brought friends from out of town who noticed things that we now take for granted - such as the constant collection of garbage.  

Looking forward to next year!

Here, here, thanks to all the volunteers!!!   

One more note of thanks to all our great SOMA neighbors.

Something that I never noticed till this year, we must have the cleanest and most thoughtful port-a-potty users ever at a music festival! Hope it was the same every year.

Cleaner then some food establishments, even on the 2nd day. My potty training 2 1/2 yr old and I thank you very much.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Best weekend of the year, as always.  

Thank you to the volunteers who ran a professional-grade event! Your dedication to our community cant't be minimized.  You facilitate a 2 day picnic that's so much more than a concert. It's a time for friends and neighbors to spend time together and build community.  

Thank you to the attendees - my neighbors and yours - for being respectful to my children (and in many cases treating them like their own), for spending money with our local vendors, and (importantly) for being well behaved while (not so discretely) drinking in the park. It would only take 1 drunken fight or 1 thrown beer bottle for the liberties of the weekend to end, and I am grateful that Maplewoodstock's family-friendly spirit was consistently maintained. 

Thank you to our police and EMS personnel who used Maplewoodstock to build trust and partnership with our community.  Your presence was a comfort. 

And one more thank you... as mentioned above, the port-a-potty's were immaculate - better than a any I've ever used at a festival.  Why? Because the planners of our event MADE IT SO! While waiting in line for the facilities yesterday afternoon with my 6 year old daughter and her friend, a gentleman in a Maplewoodstock t-shirt was CLEANING the restrooms - rubber gloves, sponge and bucket in hand.  Has anyone ever seen that at a concert before? Incredible.

So here's to a wonderful event- let's get ready for Maplewoodstock 2017!

THANK YOU!!!!!!! Hands down this is one of our favorite weekends of the year. We come all the way from South Orange for it   But seriously, our family looks forward to this event and this year's festival did not disappoint. We are grateful to the volunteers for their tireless efforts!

Trash and port-a-potty cleanliness were a problem in years past, but they really got it right this time!

It was awesome!  Thanks!

Thank you so much, Maplewoodstock volunteers!   Caught a bit of Saturday and loved Maya. NRBQ on Sunday, I'm filing away as one of my happiest memories of Maplewood.  

NRBQ: Divine! Best rock band in world history! I love them! I wanted to touch them! I did!
