About us
The Keno City Music Festival’s mission is to bring together a community of music enthusiasts in the small historic silver mining town of Keno City. We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere where the comfort and happiness of the residents are of utmost importance.
As a grassroots, and completely free music festival, our focus is on the artists, and we ensure that all the funds raised go directly to them. We offer a diverse range of musical performances, from blues, folk, country, rock, hip-hop, electronic, dance, jazz, and burlesque, to satisfy a broad range of musical tastes.
We are proud to offer free onsite camping, RV’ing, and tenting to make the festival experience as convenient and enjoyable as possible for attendees. Our festival is organized solely by volunteers and sponsors, and our passion for the event is what drives us.
We extend our sincerest thanks to the residents of Keno City for their hospitality and support in making the festival a success. The Keno City Music Festival is dedicated to fostering community through music and celebration, and we hope to continue doing so for years to come.
