Music series President John Taylor says each year the Levitt Foundation awards grants to small communities across the country, to help them put on free, family friendly concerts. And winning the highly competitive grants requires local residents to vote each year to show their support.
"Without the community support, without the voting, just the volunteers and the donations that we get, that make all of this possible. That's really I think what makes it possible, it also makes the Levitt Foundation want to bring the series to Galva."
Taylor says the foundation encourages local organizers to choose a variety of performers and styles of music.
"It's something exciting, it's something fun, and because it's free and in a really beautiful park, it's something almost anyone can enjoy."
The Levitt AMP Festival was first held in Galva in 2018, and except for 2020, has been held each year since - on Sunday nights in Wiley Park. This year's series will be held on each Sunday night through August 7th, except for July 3rd.
He says attendance averages 600 to 700 each week.
