The city of Conroe is in the process of launching a new music festival, slated for April 2022.
At a City Council workshop May 12, Director of Visit Conroe Shannon Overby provided an update on the project, asking for the approval of $80,000 in expenditures from the city.
The project has been in the works for several years and is being done in partnership with Open Sky Media, a music festival developer and promoter, and would be managed by the Texas Music Magazine staff. The four-day festival would include more than 30 bands and 40 shows across multiple venues and pop-ups, targeting between 8,000-10,000 people over the four days.
The cost to market and promote the event is $80,000, which would not require any budget amendments as it would be pulled from existing funds, Overby said. $40,000 would be from this fiscal year's budget and $40,000 for next.
