The first ever Norman Music Festival was a rousing success. With an estimated 13,000 in attendance at the smoothly-run festival, hopes for an annual occurrence are being realized, with planning for next year’s festival beginning next week. Kudos to the Norman Arts Council, the Norman Music Festival committee, the bands and the volunteers that helped pull this all off.

“It far exceeded our expectations.”
-Rick Fry, executive director of the Norman Arts Council
