Founder’s Statement
The Niagara Falls Music & Arts Festival started out as the Main Street Music & Art Festival, which was founded by Rick Crogan in 2010. Rick invited friends for dinner and began to sell his idea and passion for Main Street and Niagara Falls. Rick was recruiting the “Creative Class” to rebuild and invest its heart and soul in Niagara Falls. The creative class, which is the driving force, along with supporters and believers in Niagara Falls, began to meet regularly over dinner, bottles of wine, and sketch pads in hand. There were encouraging discussions on how we could make an impact, and draw visitors and residents into our dream of a vibrant, artistic, and eclectic community. An intense community drive for Beautification, Art, and Music became our driving force. The Niagara Falls Music & Art Festival was born!
