The 15th Annual McDowell Mountain Music Festival, which is Arizona’s only 100 percent nonprofit music festival, donated $65,000 to charity this past year.
The McDowell Mountain Music Festival donated the $65,000 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Habitat for Humanity and Smiles for Special Needs, according to WESPAC Construction, the festival’s organizers.
The festival was held from March 2- 4, 2018 and at Margaret T. Hance Park. Next year, the 16th annual happening of the festival will be held March 1-3, 2019.

There were many crowd drawing acts that performed at the music festival, including Nick Murphy (FKA Chet Faker), Big Gigantic, GRiZ and Father John Misty.
This past year was a little bit different from years prior, as there were three stages. Crowds were able to see a variety of acts from indie music to EDM, all from a prime location in downtown Phoenix.
