The festival, founded by Candace Devine, frontwoman of Ponderosa Grove and CEO of Further West, aims to make Prescott a hub for arts, culture, and music in the Southwest. Devine expressed excitement for this year’s festival, emphasizing the joy, wonder, and human connection that live music brings.
“I am so excited for this year’s festival! Pure Imagination has truly become a movement of wonder and joy in our community, and it feels more important than ever. In this time when the world feels a little off course, nothing brings a warmer feeling to my heart than knowing we are just a few months away from experiencing true human connection to each other, our beautiful landscape, and a greater communal kindness that comes through all of us from live music,” said Devine.
She continues, “I can’t wait to see this year’s lineup on our stages, along with the addition of the Friday night kick-off concert. What’s better than the most magical festival experience? More of it! I am so looking forward to seeing faces that I have seen the last couple of years return and seeing the many new faces that have heard about us and are joining in to add to the magic. It’s our festival family that really makes Pure Imagination as special as it is.”
A portion of the festival’s proceeds will be donated to the Flying Horse Foundation, an organization supporting arts and music in multicultural spaces.
