History

Fest300 was founded by Conley and Art Gimbel in early 2013.[3]

In November 2014, Fest300 updated its selection process, with the internal team curating 270 of the 300 festivals while the other 30 are crowdsourced from the festival community.[3]

In September 2016, Fest300 was acquired by Everfest. The combined entity continues to produce the Fest300 list.[4]
