Midwest Mix Fest Brings Music, Art & Community Together

Midwest Mix Fest is more than a music festival, it’s a movement – a weekend of music, art & purpose. Midwest Mix Fest 2025 is taking place next weekend, August 2-3, at the Kemper Center in Kenosha. The two-day community celebration features music, art, and food with over 30 performers, local vendors, and family activities.

Inspired by young Alexandra “Alex” Scott, whose determination to cure childhood cancer sparked a nationwide effort, this festival continues her legacy. Since 2011, our family, friends, and sponsors have helped raise over $10,000 through lemonade stands and events across Kenosha. Note: All ticket proceeds benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for pediatric cancer research
