Abstract
The phenomenological process of partnering a music therapy continuing education experience with a large music festival in June, 2022 is the focus of this paper. Summerfest is held over three consecutive weekends each summer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The festival features more than 800 acts and 1,000 performances on 12 stages (Milwaukee World Festival, 2023b). Another feature of the festival grounds is the Northwestern Mutual Community Park, featuring inclusive playground equipment with interactive musical themes (Milwaukee World Festival, 2023a).
