It will be for the enjoyment of fans, to promote the city, and enrich Oklahoma's art and music landscape.

In alignment with their mission, QOTP organizers are collaborating with local Guthrie merchant Boutique 206 on a fashion show to take place during the festival. Through this show there will be fashion on display from several different vendors, many of whom are set to have pop-up shops at the festival.
