TO THAT END MORE THAN 500 HEADLINE CONCERTS & COMMUNITY EVENTS WERE HELD IN 2023 INCLUDING TWO FREE-TO-THE-PUBLIC FESTIVAL EVENTS (SING IN THE STREETS IN MAY & CAFFE LENA AT SPAC IN OCTOBER). IN 2023, CAFFE LENA CONTINUED EXPANDING WHAT A SMALL MUSIC VENUE CAN MEAN TO OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING THAT REFLECTS FOLK MUSIC VALUES AND GOES BEYOND PRESENTING CONCERTS.
