MQT's biggest music fest is the Hiawatha Music Festival, a 35-year traditional music gathering happening this weekend (July 19-21) at Tourist Park. The festival is one of the largest of its kind in the Midwest and brings in people from all over the country, but locals still have ways to impact the most unique festivals in MQT.

Three main local acts are taking various stages at the festival. The Door Cats, Sparrow Tree and Corrinne Rockow will be spread out among the main stage, teen scene and children's stage respectively, but all three acts are from the greater MQT area.
