We Are Milton is a local, non-profit group that works all year to arrange and stage The Milton Music Fest and fireworks celebration at Hutchinson's Field to kick off the summer. 

This event began in 2013, inspired by the celebrations the previous year for Milton's 250th. 

As a longtime Celtic music fan, former drummer in various Irish groups, and the husband of noted Celtic singer Pauline Wells, Richard wanted to expand the event and in 2014, was the driving force  behind Celtic Sunday.
