Launched in 2022 as an initiative by the Lubbock Music Friendly Community Committee, this program seeks to grow and expand outreach to music students and musicians – teaching great business skills, technical music work, and offering networking opportunities. The Buffalo Grass Fest is the signature event of these efforts. The Buffalo Grass Fest has a fund with the Community Foundation of West Texas to ensure the spirit of collaboration among the groups who are involved in the effort. The fund was established to raise private dollars to support the project each year – the purpose of the event will be to educate – it is not a fundraiser for any organization.
