| Content | I would like to see Oklahoma host a large destination music festival with the resources and reputation necessary to bring in a large number of the most popular and best live bands in the world, making our state a summer road trip destination for music fans throughout the southwest.
Tennessee has set an excellent example with their Bonnaro Music Festival which is held on a 700 acre farm in the middle of nowhere. Every year this multi-stage festival brings in over 100 top bands, which in turn attracts thousands of tourists and makes the state a summer road-trip destination. Lawrence, Kansas also has a great festival called Wakarusa, emphasizing the fact that you do not need a typical destination city like Austin to host a great music festival that can boost tourism and state pride. |
