Fayetteville Turns Up the Volume With Music Cities Convention

More than 300 delegates from around the world will descend on Fayetteville this month during the Music Cities Convention Sept. 16 to 18. The conference is a forum for thought leaders from the worlds of music, venue management, city planning, economic development, tourism and academia, as well as nonprofit and public-sector organizations, to explore how music can enhance community identity and drive economic growth.

The conference is sold out, but the community is invited to the closing reception Sept. 18 at George’s Majestic Lounge for a free program packed with Arkansas talent. Doors open at 5 p.m.
