We present a world-class lineup of premier touring artists, providing attendees with exposure to diverse, multi-genre music including bluegrass, roots, folk, and blues. This family-oriented event features activities specifically designed to inspire youth to play instruments, fostering a positive tradition that impacts lives across generations. Beyond the mainstage, the festival provides on-site camping, local vendors, educational instrument workshops, and campground jam sessions. To ensure community accessibility, we maintain reasonable admission rates, and children ages 16 and under attend for free.

To date, the library has loaned 84 instruments from its collection of 157, including guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins, guitarrns, vihuelas, accordions, and trumpets. The WAY program has successfully engaged 342 students across 8 locations, providing 884 instructional classes led by 12 professional music instructors.

In its fifth year, OFOAM continued its mission to educate and inspire through music, dance, and visual arts by partnering with the Ogden School District, LUPEC (Latinos United Promoting Education & Civic Engagement), and the Mexican Consulate to present premier Latin artists. OFOAM provided comprehensive event support, including marketing, venue rental, production (sound, lights, and backline), and artist logistics (fees, lodging, and transportation). Additionally, OFOAM planned an educational outreach concert for Ogden and Weber School District students on October 9th, featuring a lecture-demonstration format, but it was unfortunately cancelled. The OFOAM planning committee also coordinated the Ogden School District Art & Music Showcases, community altars, a car show, a mercadito, and local food vendors.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $243k to $380k (+57%).
