Mid West Music Fest (MWMF) is a music festival in the Driftless region of Minnesota and Wisconsin featuring regional artists for over 13 years.

Ten years ago, we threw our first Whirlygig party during Art-a-Whirl weekend. A full decade later, our little shindig is now a full-blown music festival. Brimming with art, music, and beer, our corner of Northeast is the place to be May 19-21. Music on Friday, May 19: 8:45pm: NUR-D + full band 7:45pm: Mayyadda 6:30pm: Honeybutter Enjoy food from Red Cow, Revival Smoked Meats, The Donut Trap, KCM Eggrolls, and Francis to pair with your festival-going experience. Beers, both in cans and on tap, will be widely available at the event (there will be beyond beer, THC beverages, and non-alcoholic options, too). Whirlygig coincides with Art-a-Whirl presented by NEMAA, the largest open studio tour in the country. There will be artwork from nearly 1,000 artists in every medium at more than 60 locations, including the Solar Arts Building. Watch Chuck U at work during one of his live drawing sessions off the loading dock at our taproom and purchase prints on-site, too. Flavor World will be doing live screenprinting. Entry to this event is free and open to all ages (must be 21+ to drink beer and THC beverages), but please keep your pets at home. Whirlygig will go on rain or shine. The event is cash only, both inside and outside, with ATMs on-site.
