Springfield first won a grant from the Mortimer and Mimi Levitt Foundation in 2018. The successful series is continuing thanks to a new, three year matching grant that was awarded last fall. Local sponsors have chipped with both financial and in-kind support.
According to the Downtown Springfield Heritage Foundation "The Levitt Foundation partners with communities to activate underused outdoor spaces, creating welcoming, inclusive destinations where the power of free, live music brings people together and invigorates community life."
A total of 18 locations nationally participated last year.
