Kingfield Pops began in 2003 as a project of the Mount Abram Economic Development Association to bring tourists to the area in order to boost the local economy as well as provide a fun family event. It has flourished into a nonprofit organization, with a mission statement to provide visual and performing arts experiences through a local vibrant arts environment enhancing both quality of life and economic growth while celebrating heritage, families and all life has to offer.
