The 2010 Keene Music Festival, held on September 4, 2010, is an event you don't want to miss. Bands and Solo Performers play a wide variety of music on five stage locations and three sidewalk areas. Click here for more information.

The Keene Music Festival began in the summer of 2001. Their mission is to lend support and inspiration to local musicians through the creation and production of an annual, outdoor performance event. We encourage participation by musicians of diverse styles and backgrounds, and encourage the presentation of original musical compositions.

The Keene Music Festival is truly a collaborative effort and endeavor. And, thanks to the generosity of numerous contributors, it is one of the fastest growing FREE music festivals in New England. It is our hope that we can assist other communities in the creation of similar music festivals throughout the country. The Keene Music Festival Team and The Keene Downtown Group are proud to report that area businesses, merchants, civic & municipal organizations, residents & volunteers all continue to donate the resources necessary to insure that this FREE musical event is here to stay.

The Keene Music Festival is a unique experience and we are excited that so many people have joined together to produce this day long musical extravaganza. At the heart of this project are the hundreds of musicians who have all donated their time and talent. It is these creative individuals who have given us the gift of today's Keene Music Festival. As you walk through the streets of our fair city take delight in the sights and sounds of their performance.
