The Music Fest debacle

Recommend Blog Post
Total Recommendations (0)

If this year's Music Fest actually gets off the ground it will in all probability be the last. With City Council slashing funds for the festival from $721, 750 to a paltry $250,000 the quality --- and diversity --- the MusicFest once provided will be gone. The event will be for one day only --- July 21 --- at Frontier Field.

Music festivals do work in Rochester, obviously. But I feel this administration is clueless as to what works and how to go about getting it here. Mistake No. 1 was whittling it down from an all-around music festival to one featuring strictly urban music --- even the Rochester International Jazz Festival has mixed it up.
