Meeting Date: October 20, 2026
General Plan Element: Economic Development
General Plan Goal: Sustain Scottsdale as a tourist destination
ACTION
Arizona Musicfest 2026-27 Concert Series. Adopt Resolution No. 13802 authorizing funding up to
$75,000 from the portion of the Tourism Development Fund that is allocated in the FY 2026/27
Operating Budget toward event retention and development in support of agreement Contract No.
2026-164-COS with Arizona Musicfest.
BACKGROUND
Arizona Musicfest, producer of the Arizona Musicfest 2026-27 Concert series, has requested
$75,000 in support of a one-year agreement with the City of Scottsdale for event development.
The concert series is held in North Scottsdale October through April. Concert locations include the
Highland Church, and Pinnacle Presbyterian Church. Arizona Musicfest is a secular non-profit and
has no direct affiliation with any churches other than rental use agreements.
For 36 years Arizona Musicfest has been a leading art, cultural non-profit organization and produces
the annual concert series featuring world class artists and celebrity entertainers.
Arizona Musicfest does not meet the Event Development Funding Program requirement that events
occur on two or more consecutive days because its approximately 50 concerts are presented
throughout the season. In recommending funding, the Tourism Development Commission
considered the concert series as a whole, including its scale and cumulative impact. The event
producer has also requested that 50% of any approved funding be paid prior to the start of the
concert series.
This will be the third year the event has participated in the Event Development Funding Program.
Althpugh the Event Development Funding Program has since been suspended, the Arizona
Musicfest is one of four events that were already participating in the program and remain eligible to
complete the funding cycle under the previous program criteria.
On September 15, 2026, the Tourism Development Cornmission unanimously recommended that
the City Council allocate up to $75,000 in support of the one-year agreement. Allocation of potential
funds will be from the Tourism Development Fund established for events and event development.

City Council Report | Arizona Musicfest 2026-27 Concert Series
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
The 2025-2026 concert series produced 50 concerts. The October 2026 through April 2027 concert
series will produce the same number, and the producer is anticipating a projected cumulative
attendance of 53,000.
Arizona Musicfest will promote the event using a multi-channel marketing campaign including direct
mail, social media, websites, television, and print. The producer is estimating expenditure of
$616,146 toward event marketing against a total event budget of $6.5 million.
City staff have evaluated the proposal to identify the benefits for the city and the local tourism
industry and have identified a public purpose for the city's expenditure. The marketing and
promotional benefits provide direct consideration substantially equal to the proposed city's
expenditure.
Following the conclusion of the event, the event producer will provide the city with a post-event
report evaluating the producer's performance under the event funding agreement and the benefits
achieved for the city and the public. If the producer does not meet the funding criteria established
in the agreement, the funding amount will be reduced accordingly, consistent with the terms of the
agreement.
Community Involvement
Discussion regarding this event took place at the Tourism Development Commission meeting on
September 15, 2026.
RESOURCE IMPACTS
Available Funding
The recommended city investment is up to $75,000 for the event funding agreement. Based on
Tourism Development Fund sources and uses included in the FY 2026/27 Operating Budget, funds are
available.
Staffing, Workload Impact
No additional staffing or other resources are expected.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 13802, authorizing funding in an amount up to
$75,000 from the portion of the Tourism Development Fund that is allocated toward event
retention and development, and approving Contract No. 2026-164-COS.

discussed in this Agreement or are necessary to conduct the Event in the manner
contemplated by this Agreement. Without limitation, this Agreement does not authorize any
use of any land or facilities owned, controlled or operated by City or any third party.
Producer shall not use such land or facilities without first entering into separate contracts for
such use. City has not promised Producer any such contracts or use. This Agreement is not
a promise to make City venues or other resources available for the Event. Any use of City
property for the Event would require a separate contract. If Producer enters into any other
agreements with City, including without limitation agreements for the same event, for other
events, or for use of city venues or resources for any event, then any violation of this
Agreement or any of the other agreements by Producer shall be a violation by Producer of
