Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Hambone Music Festival provides a diverse music and arts education experience to the public in an area of Minnesota that does not currently offer this style of music and type of outdoor arts event. Our target demographic is people of all ages residing in Southeast Minnesota and beyond. We will measure the outcomes by utilizing improved processes for quantifying ticket, beverage, and merchandise sales. We consistently survey our attendees via printed surveys and social media to gather feedback and demographic information.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A diverse arts and music experience provided to audience within the ages from 0 to 87 years. Attracted a larger audience of young families with children than in past years. Younger families reached by targeted advertising and art education programming.
