Mile High Music Festival exploded on to the national festival scene
last year as Colorado's largest music and arts festival, offering
concertgoers a tremendous variety of musical talent, food from many of
Denver's top restaurants, an artists' village and more. The festival,
which attracted more than 90,000 attendees its inaugural year, went off
without a hitch and promises again to put the fan experience first. The
festival grounds, with its remarkable views of the Denver skyline and
Rocky Mountain Front Range, will offer even more shade, an increased
number of free water stations, and shorter concession lines. The 2009
event also boasts an upgraded VIP experience and expanded festival
greening initiatives.
This year's Mile High Music Festival charity component was created
as a special thank you to the community that is supporting this
Colorado summer tradition. A portion of the ticket proceeds will
benefit Commerce City's Quality Community Foundation (QCF). "This is
extremely good news," said Commerce City Mayor Paul Natale. "The city
is very excited to again be a part of the Mile High Music Festival, and
for AEG Live to donate money to the city's Quality Community Foundation
is just music to my ears." The Quality Community Foundation is a
501(c)3 nonprofit organization established by Commerce City in 2006. It
grants money to organizations that provide nonprofit services to
Commerce City residents.
