Keene Music Festival 2008

The Keene Music Festival began in the summer of 2001. Their mission is to lend support and inspiration to local musicians through the creation and production of an annual, outdoor music festival. They encourage participation by musicians of diverse styles and backgrounds, and encourage the presentation of original musical compositions.



Celebrating its eighth year, The Keene Music Festival will be held on August 30th, 2008. They usually feature 6 to 7 simultaneous music stages in the downtown area of Keene, New Hampshire. In addition to the actual festival, the Keene Music Festival staff also book talent for their “Fridays Are For Music” series, in which artists perform in our downtown square every Friday of the summer. They are now accepting submissions from Sonicbids artists for performance consideration at both The Keene Music Festival and the Fridays Are For Music series.



The Keene Music Festival is truly a collaborative effort and endeavor. Thanks to the generosity of numerous contributors, it is one of the fastest growing free music festivals in New England. This is a great gig for any artist looking to perform at an intimate and compassionate music festival.
