2. Look for the Traveling Stage Pulled by Bike
New to the festival this year will be a traveling stage that bands can perform on while being pulled through the streets of Old Town by, what else of course, a bicycle. So, be on the lookout and take a picture and tag us with #VisitFtCollins on Instagram and we will share it, because you won't see this anywhere else!
3. Catch one of the New Stand-up Comedy Performances at FoCoMX
Also brand new to the festival this year is the presence of a number of local stand-up comedy acts. The comedy acts will perform between the sets of the bands at several of the venues at the festival.
4. Go to a Venue You’ve Never Been to Before
This can be creative due to the fact the festival turns restaurants, coffee shops, and even places such as the Museum of Discovery into concert venues. (The digital dome theater at the museum of discovery will serve as a unique venue to some acts for the festival!) So, put yourself out there and go see a band at one of the coffee shops or restaurants or any of the other unique venues in Fort Collins that will host these talented local bands.
5. Get out and Watch Kids Programming at Everyday Joes
Youth programming will be introduced this year at FoCoMX. The Kids Programming will be showcased at Everyday Joe’s Coffee House with performances happening throughout the lineup.
