There are many people that contribute to “Keeping The Music Playing” at this year’s Art Festival!

Thanks to the City of Manitou Springs we received a MACH grant that will support the Commonwheel Festival. This grant creates the funding for local musicians play under a tent on our outdoor stage at this year's art festival.

Thanks to the Manitou Springs Visitor Center for loaning us the stage the musicians stand on while playing at the Art Festival each year.

A heartfelt thanks goes to this year's Entertainment Coordinator, Kiera Lynn, who has rounded up some incredible local musicians to fill the stage with great music at the 48th Annual Commonwheel Art Festival.
