The South Park Music Festival is happening this year from September 7-10. Just three years old, it's already quite successful in terms of industry support, press coverage, and band applications. Here's an article from last year giving some history of the festival and some of the challenges to putting it on.
I'll be doing my own interview with founder/executive director Matt Fecher very soon.
PopMatters Music Feature | Rocky Mountain High Hopes: South Park Music Festival 2005: "As a financial lure, festivals of any stripe offer a quick infusion of out-of-town cash and tourism opportunities into the local economy, and help cement a town's reputation as a worthwhile destination in the future. The problem Fairplay faces is that it's hardly a vacation hotspot in its natural state. A small, sleepy town in the vast open valley of Park County (an area roughly the size of Delaware), it doesn't have the one key ingredient critical to big mountain bucks: a ski resort."
