There will be spontaneous performances throughout the campground and city of Montrose throughout this 3-day acoustic music festival.

The mission of this event is to bring attention back to the small towns in our state and lift them up. To create a true spirit of community and not just focus on oneself, but focus on togetherness, is also part of what this festival is all about.
