The story

FoCoMX in Fort Collins

FoCoMX, the Fort Collins Music eXperiment, is a two-day, all-Colorado music festival held each spring across more than 40 downtown Fort Collins venues. Presented by the nonprofit Fort Collins Musicians Association, it features more than 450 Colorado bands and has been called the Biggest Little Festival in America.

Fort Collins has built a reputation as one of Colorado's most musically active mid-sized cities, and FoCoMX, the Fort Collins Music eXperiment, is the clearest annual expression of that identity.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's defining rule sets it apart from most multi-venue music showcases: every act on the bill is a Colorado band, making FoCoMX a comprehensive snapshot of the state's music scene across every genre rather than a festival built around national touring headliners

02

The mystery stays covered

Spreading more than 450 acts across 40-plus stages, from established music venues to breweries and listening rooms, in a single compact downtown area over two nights gives attendees a density of live music discovery that few regional festivals attempt, and its presentation by FoCoMA, a musician-founded nonprofit, keeps the event rooted in supporting the local artist community rather than pure commercial promotion

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

FoCoMX grew directly out of the Fort Collins Musicians Association's mission to support and showcase the city's musician community

Water and renewal

Living ritual

and its all-Colorado booking policy reflects that founding purpose: the festival exists to spotlight the state's own artists rather than to import national touring acts
