The drizzly weather isn't stopping one of the valley's most popular music festivals from moving forward.

The 6th annual Fortune Williams Music Festival began tonight.

Crews worked today to get ready for the crowds expected to watch the sold-out "Songwriters In The Round" concert.

That concert features Jimmy Fortune and Robin and Linda Williams.

And if it's rainy, fans can stay dry at the music venue tomorrow, with plenty of tents to keep them out of the elements.

Festival Director Larry Smith says, "We have people coming from about thirty states, California, Alaska to Canada, and I don't think they're going to let a little drizzle hamper any fun they're planning on having."

Five local and national acts will appear tomorrow, and the event culminates on Sunday with John Anderson.
