Queen City Shout will return to Springfield on March 23-29. The annual festival will feature more than 100 musical acts, film screenings, poetry events, dance performances and visual arts displays.
Events will take place in venues in Springfield’s Historic Commercial Street, downtown and Rountree neighborhoods, according to a community announcement.
Ticket pricing and nonprofit support
Admission is $20 for a single-day ticket or $30 for a full week pass. Every ticket sold supports poverty relief in Springfield and the surrounding areas.
This year’s nonprofit partners include the Ozarks Area Community Action Corporation, Harmony House, Community Partnership of the Ozarks, The Kitchen Inc., Isabel’s House Crisis Nursery and KVC Missouri.
Reflecting on the past 15 years, festival founder Eddie Gumucio said in the announcement, “Fifteen years — that’s wild to think about. What started as a few bands at a bookstore has become this beautiful thing that belongs to the whole community now.”
