Minnesota Festival Support
ACHF Cultural Heritage
Five sub-genres of jazz will be performed, and visual artists will represent five or more art forms. The number of Minnesota artists involved is ninety or more. We will tally the different number of musical sub-genres performed, number of music performers and visual display artist who participate and compare to our objectives and past Fest results. 2: Achieve attendance of 15,000 over the event, with many attendees from the neighborhood, an underserved market. Evaluation methods included traditional crowd observations, discussions with vendors and security, comparisons to past festivals.

Things were on a roll...at 4 PM, Fest grounds were as packed as they've been in our twelve year history.
