DENVER — Colorado Music Hall of Fame (The Hall) invites residents, visitors and music and tourism stakeholders to share their vision for Colorado’s music scene through a newly launched survey. 

Survey participants will have the chance to win two tickets to a 2025 Red Rocks show – exclusions apply. This initiative aims to gather diverse perspectives to help craft a comprehensive music tourism strategy that will guide Colorado’s music industry forward. Take the survey online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/COMusic. 

With $20,000 of funding awarded by the Colorado Tourism Office (CTO) 2024-2025 Tourism Management Matching Grant, The Hall is collaborating with Mission2Market (M2M), a Colorado-based destination consulting firm, to develop a three-year plan to nurture, fortify and advance music tourism initiatives and projects across the state. Together, The Hall and M2M have established six regional task forces comprising the music industry leaders and tourism professionals. These task forces are dedicated to identifying and prioritizing opportunities for music tourism development across the state. 

“This is an exciting opportunity to align Colorado’s rich music history with its tourism and economic development goals,” said Karen Radman, Executive Director, Colorado Music Hall of Fame. “We’re calling on everyone who loves music to give their input—whether you’re a visitor, resident or industry stakeholder—to help shape the future of Colorado’s music tourism initiatives."
