National Independent Venue Association Partnership
The SoCo Stomp is proud to host the Official National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) Day Party on the first day of the Stomp, Wednesday, March 13th, welcoming their members from across the country. NIVA led the charge to pass the bipartisan Save Our Stages Act, allocating $16 billion in federal emergency relief through the Small Business Administration for independent venues. The bill has been credited with preventing the collapse of the live entertainment industry.
