The Fort Worth Music Fest was created to bring awareness to the southeast area by bringing together communities with the universal sound of music. The Fort Worth Music Fest not only serves as an integral part of cultural heritage appreciation within the community, it is the primary fund raiser for the Renaissance Cultural Center Scholarship Program. Featuring formerly national recording artists such as Joseph Vincelli, Michael Ward, Joe McBride, Waymon Tisdale ( now deceased), Ronnie Laws and Bobbi Humphrey, the Fort Worth Music Fest is the ONLY music fest in Fort Worth that provides such diversity with the opportunity to hear not only Smooth Jazz, but R&B, Blues, Neo-Soul, Oldies & Salsa!
This event continues to be a vital and much needed boost to the cultural awareness of this community. it also serves as a fundraiser to the Renaissance Cultural Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has provided over $354,500.00 in scholarships to 189 students attending schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District and Tarrant County from 1995-2009.
