Get Ready for MidPoint Music Festival

One of the best times of the year is almost here, MidPoint Music Festival! MPMF will feature more than 50 local, regional, national and internationally recognized acts including a diverse mix of up-and-coming artists and bands in addition to some of the biggest names in festival history. Taking place at a new location this year, fans can enjoy music across four stages at the Taft Theatre, the Ballroom at the Taft Theatre, the Masonic Cathedral, and the Masonic Ballroom.

As announced last week, all performers will be on indoor stages to further elevate the experience for its fans and the bands. The festival's decision to feature all performers indoors will further utilize the fabulous Masonic Hall, in addition to the beautiful Taft Theatre, and also consolidate the event into a more intimate, immersive atmosphere.
