Welcome To The Rally

Rally for the Valley is a one-day community gathering on Saturday, October 3, from 2 to 10 PM in downtown Menasha, free and open to all.

Ten weeks after the July 27 tornado tore through Appleton, Menasha, Neenah and Fox Crossing, the event turns the downtown into a walkable celebration: live entertainment, artists and makers, local businesses, food and drink, nonprofits and recovery organizations, and family-friendly experiences throughout the day. The lineup brings together Charlie Berens, Butch Vig, Soul Asylum, Fountains of Wayne, Max Collins of Eve 6, Cory Chisel, Freedy Johnston, Phil Johnston and Hang Ten, plus Wisconsin personalities, musicians and special guests. It is a fundraiser for recovery, a celebration of resilience, and an invitation for the rest of the state to show up for the Fox Valley in a very big way.
