Steel Bridge Songfest is an annual volunteer community event produced by the Steel Bridge Creative Foundation (previously CfOB) and is the only songwriter festival of its kind in the world. Preceded by a 4-day songwriting marathon, the celebration is designed to promote community awareness, enrich the local economy, and to champion historic preservation through the use of artistic expression and experience. We also raise awareness through CD compilations of original songs written and inspired by the bridge, and through volunteer public performances.
