= This is a working draft of the article Fork Fest =

Fork Fest is an annual rock music festival held in American Fork, Utah that focuses on local artists and musicians or those who have an important connection to the area. The festival was created in 2010 by Corey Fox and musician Joshua James and was later brought back in 2019 by the Harrington Center for the Arts working with Fox and his local music venue, Velour Live Music Gallery.

2019
In response to the popular Provo Rooftop Concert Series ending in September 2019, the festival was brought back in June 2019 to continue providing a space for local artists and fans to come together and celebrate music. The idea was spearheaded by Harrington Center for the Arts who had received a grant in 2018 to put on a community concert. They worked with original founder Corey Fox to stay true to the spirit of the original in 2010.

2020
Although the global pandemic made it difficult for large groups of people to gather together, Fork Fest adapted to be a "Covid Conscious Music & Arts Festival" and was rescheduled from June to September, when Utah covid danger levels were lower. Ticketing was limited, and several bands that had originally planned to perform were unable to attend.
