MidPoint Music Festival is an annual music festival in downtown Cincinnati showcasing independent local, regional, national and international artists.

Steeped in its own rich music history, Cincinnati has gained national reputation as a true music town.  James Brown and Hank Williams recorded their greats at Cincinnati legacy King Records; Bootsy Collins, The Afghan Whigs, Blessed Union of Souls and Peter Frampton have all called it home.
 
Now in it's 7th year, MidPoint Music Festival has established itself as one of the premier music festivals in the U.S.  Consequently, the Midwest region has been recognized as a champion of the newest, coolest sounds influencing the nation and beyond.  Again, this September, 2008, Cincinnati will be the music epicenter where artists and fans alike come to make noise and celebrate our finest export: independent, original music.
 
There are three cities that have a rightful claim to be the birthplace of rock: Memphis, New Orleans and Cincinnati.
