WayneFest is a celebration of Coronado’s musical past, but even more importantly, an introduction to its musical present. According to event creator Mike Logan, “Coronado has been doing amazing things in terms of its creativity, artistry, and sense of community. This is a chance for us to share it with the broader Phoenix community.”

This event was made possible by the Coronado Neighborhood Association. Proceeds from WayneFest will go the the Coronado Neighborhood Association and will help to fund programs like the community toolshed, community garden, animal welfare, Blockwatch, murals, kids activities, little free libraries and community cleanups. One dollar from each ticket purchased will be donated to the music program at North High School.
