About the Festival
When Does NMF Happen?
The Norman Music Festival usually takes place every year in April. It starts on the third Thursday of the month and runs until Saturday. If the third weekend of April is during the Easter holiday, the festival moves to the fourth weekend. This helps avoid conflicts with other fun events in Norman.
How NMF Has Grown
When NMF first started in 2008, it was just a one-day event. But it quickly became very popular! So, it grew into a three-day celebration of music and art. More and more people come to the festival every year.
Since 2009, the NMF logo has included a number. This number shows how many times the festival has happened. For example, the festival in 2009 was called NMF2. The one in 2010 was NMF3, and so on.
Who Organizes NMF?
The Norman Music Festival is put together by amazing volunteers. These are people who give their time to make the festival happen. The festival gets its money from donations. These donations come from people and businesses nearby. The Norman Arts Council also helps sponsor the event now.
