What the hell is NMF?
Since 2008, Norman Music Festival has showcased Oklahoma’s finest musicians in every genre on four outdoor stages, more than a dozen partner venues.
It’s more than a festival, it’s a place to connect, celebrate, and be whoever the hell anyone wants to be.
We’ve braved wild weather, tight budgets, and big challenges, all thanks to our amazing partners!
Our team is an all-volunteer crew, minus one overworked executive director, so it truly takes an entire community to make this festival happen, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
