Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The festival is located in more than 10 venues in downtown Winona, and provides the opportunity for guests from toddlers to senior citizens to experience art. Additionally, with over 100 performers, Minnesota artists are present at every venue throughout the festival.We track attendance at all venues and have increased attendance each year. Through data collection we will track (Minnesota performers, venue attendance, overall attendance, and to the extent possible attendee city and state). We are adding a database to help collect this information.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The festival was held in ten venues in downtown Winona and it featured 130 performances by over 500 musicians, 350 musicians from Minnesota.
