Cincinnati Music Festival presented by Procter & Gamble (CMF) won’t skip a beat in 2020. Through a marathon of new and previous music content, consumer engagement opportunities and digital presence, CMF is creating the #FEELSLIKECMF Virtual Weekend Experience, July 23 to 25. The innovative free event, to be available on cincymusicfestival.com, will focus on celebration, community and local impact and is also supported by AARP.
“Music provides hope, comfort and determination during uncertain times,” said Joe Santangelo, producer of CMF. “Leading up to and during #FEELSLIKECMF Weekend, we will work strategically to uplift our neighbors, support local Black artists and musicians and drive commerce to local Black-owned businesses and restaurants. This event promises to grow awareness of regional organizations that support the African American community and share the positivity and history of our Cincinnati Music Festival presented by P&G.”
