Serving the community is their primary focus. Their mission to use the vehicle of fine arts to provide the total community of Oklahoma with exposure to the African, African-American/Black culture with a particular emphasis on educating Oklahoma's youth is truly commendable.

The Norman Music Festival sounds like an incredible event. It's hard to believe that it started as just a one-day event with a few bands and has grown into a massive three-day festival with over 60 artists. They feature talent from many genres and have indoor and outdoor venues. And the fact that it's still free is fantastic. It's great they have such dedicated VIPs and sponsors to make it all possible.
