Create & Connect

Create & Connect is a FREE Mid West Music Fest event featuring live music, a makers market, food trucks, community art projects, family fun, and workshops hosted by local organizations.

Our goal is to create an inclusive, vibrant, and accessible celebration that fosters community connection, supports local talent, and provides an opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together through creativity and shared experiences.
