The new event did not receive much financial support or much advertising, so the festival started out pretty small, with a lot of the city's performers..

It took a couple of years, but eventually word spread and 106.1 Kiss Party received some attention The tour started to get more acts that had made a name for themselves around the country and it began to warrant the kind of attention its creators dreamed it would receive one day.
