The app lets users set reminders for musical performances, and also will feature alerts and guidance on inclement weather if the festival is shut down.
The alerts will let Musikfest keep patrons informed about weather updates and when it's safe to return if the festival has to be evacuated.
Instant updates can be turned on in the app by enabling notifications, including schedule changes and general updates.
