A community-based festival, where we celebrate the talent and hard work of musicians, artists, dancers, comedians, and entrepreneurs in the region. As fans of the creative spirit in humanity, we invite you to join us as an active participant in this movement.
MidFest was started by a group of friends in the summer of 2016 to provide a platform for the local music scene in Manhattan, KS. The festival was held in a borrowed backyard. The equipment was donated and the bands played for the love of music. 300 people came out to show their support. Now in the 4th year of existence, MidFest continues to provide a platform for local music, while also offering bands, entertainers and those of the arts from all over, an opportunity in front of a supportive crowd in the beautiful Flint Hills.
