Waco Music Friendly Designation
On July 30, 2020, the State of Texas certified Waco as the twelfth Texas city designated as a “Music Friendly Community.” Participation establishes a public reputation for Waco as a community with a growing and thriving music scene. It connects Waco with the Texas Music Office (TMO) and its programming initiatives. What we do here is amplified through the TMO’s social media, website, and channels and allows us to work more closely with other music-friendly communities.
The designation was the result of a year of hard work by a grassroots local group including Katie Selman of Keep Waco Loud, Lindsay Liepman of Channel 25, Fiona Bond of Creative Waco, and the Director of the Waco Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). The group held a workshop in August 2019 where artists and professionals representing many styles of music gathered to support seeking the designation. The gathering was the largest workshop of its kind in Texas, with well over 100 attending.
Other designations awarded by the State of Texas: the Waco Downtown Cultural District, Film Friendly Community, Brew City, Texas, and Music Friendly Community. These designations indicate that Waco wants to attract activity in these sectors, and supports these important parts of the Waco economy.
