I have had mixed feelings about the local phenomenon of Midpoint Music Festival, but they really redeemed themselves for me this year with their Midpoint Midway and CAC-sponsored acoustic stage.
For folks like me who live in the neighborhood, it was a great way to get out of the house and enjoy the event without spending money on a ticket. With two kids at home, the ticket would have been mostly wasted. And, considering the way MPMF takes over our neighborhood for a weekend, it was nice to have this early evening, all-ages, free part of the event. It definitely made up for the noise and parking issues that weekend!We made it down to the Midway three nights in a row. We listened to some acoustic music, watched the skateboarders, and ate some fabulous soft pretzels. The weather was great and my son is still asking me if he can go "see some music" again tonight.
Thanks, Midpoint. Maybe next year I'll buy a ticket.
I agree that it was a great event, and the trucks had interesting displays. My favorite was the skateboard truck! I think the CAC had a booth at the Midway, but I'm pretty sure it was not their event: http://mpmf.com/festival/midway.
ReplyDeleteI appears the CAC sponsored the acoustic stage, not the entire Midway.
