FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Musikfest is the nation’s largest free music festival, with 500 free performances on 14 different stages over 10 days. Over the years we have hosted local, regional, national, and international artists. In 2011 Here Come the Mummies, a funk band made up of seasoned pros who masquerade as mummies, packed the Festplatz dance floor. In 2012 we added Caravan of Thieves, who brand themselves as "Gypsy Swingin’ Serenading Firebreathing Circus Freaks." Other highlights have included the infamous Russian Surf Rock group, Igor and the Red Elvises, as well as the Bluegrass Hip-Hop creation known as Gangstagrass. A festival favorite from 2011 and 2012 was MarchFourth Marching Band.
