During our 22 years of the Colorado Riverfront Concert Series, we have seen our number of attendance increase from just a few hundred attendees to approximately 1,600 attendees for each of our three concerts during May, June and August of 2019. In 2019 we received an in-kind donation from one local radio station of $5,000 and one of our local TV stations of $7,500 for advertising our concert series.
