Virtual Music Festival to livestream on area Facebook pages in unique city-wide co-marketing event

McKinney, TX (December 8, 2021) -- The McKinney Restaurant Council – a partnership between the McKinney Chamber of Commerce and the North Texas Chapter of the Texas Restaurant Association – is excited to announce the launch of McKinney Made. McKinney Made is a virtual music festival designed to promote McKinney as a top destination for food and entertainment.

Presenting Sponsors for the inaugural event include The Guitar Sanctuary and TUPPS Brewery. Our exclusive auto sponsor is The Tomes Auto Group.  Being produced by Cereal Head Media, it’ll be a collaboratively live-streamed event that will be hosted on dozens of area Facebook pages and will feature restaurants and entertainment venues from across McKinney. It will also feature a diverse slate of five up-and-coming musicians who are based in the area. The live stream will take place on Thursday, December 9 at 7:00 p.m. and is free to view.

To watch McKinney Made, viewers can tune into any of the participating Facebook Pages, including various City of McKinney and the McKinney Chamber Facebook Pages. There will also be watch parties hosted at TUPPS Brewery, E.J. Wills Gastro Pub and other locations in McKinney.

McKinney Mayor George Fuller has stepped up to help plan this event in conjunction with Cereal Head Media, the MRC and the Greater Dallas Chapter of the TRA.

“This is what makes McKinney so great. We have 11 restaurants and entertainment venues – possibly more – collaborating to put on this event,” shared Mayor Fuller.  “Think about that. 12 businesses that often compete with one another are working together to get out the word that McKinney is one of the preeminent cities for food and entertainment in the Metroplex. You want to talk about a rising tide that lifts all boats – well, these businesses are that tide. I think this has a chance to be one of the most watched live-streamed events ever to happen in McKinney.”

“We’re excited to work with the MRC and the McKinney Chamber to bring this uniquely collaborative co-marketing event to the area.  The best type of marketing is the kind that doesn’t feel like marketing, and that’s what this is.  It’s fun, entertaining, engaging, and will raise awareness on how great a destination McKinney is for people in the region to visit.” - Chad Hugghins - Founder, Cereal Head Media
