The 3rd annual Nebraska Pop Festival served as a memorable experience to the musicians involved and the music lovers that attended.  We are looking forward to continue this tradition in 2012 with the 4th annual Nebraska Pop Festival, to be held July 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 in Omaha, Nebraska, and before the festival with Pop Rallies on June 29 and July 6. 

We'd like to thank the fans, the venues, and the bands, for making Nebraska Pop Festival 2011 a success. We also like to give thanks to the local media for spreading the good word about the 2011 event in overwhelming fashion. Here's is a roundup of just some of those good words.

I'd like to take this time to thank all of the supporters of Nebraska Pop Festival. As many of our supporters know,  a lot of work has been put into this great festival. Good hard work by the musicians involved, the beneficiary Arts For All, Inc. and also long hard work by Christopher on a daily basis, with organizational ground work for the 2011 festival dating all the way back to September of 2010. 


We appreciate any support the community of Omaha is willing to give to Nebraska Pop Festival, as all the time and hard work is simply made with the intent for as many people possible to experience and to enjoy. I firmly believe the Nebraska Pop Festival is friendly for all ages, and that all Nebraska Pop Festival events occur in environments that are conducive to building healthy friendships, having fun, and hearing lots of great new music. 


Thank you.

hugs,
Christopher

We're less than 1 month away from Nebraska Pop Festival 2011, get excited!!!
