What a blast we had at Mission Creek Festival, and we hope you all enjoyed it too!
As a community member, I’ve been part of MCF, and my old punk band has graced the festival’s lineup before. But this year was a whole new experience for me as an employee, and let me tell you, it was my favorite one yet.
I had so much fun b-boppin’ around town with my besties, attempting to catch all my favorite bands on the lineup while discovering some new ones I hadn’t listened to before.
So many performances left me utterly spellbound; Hatis Noit brought tears to my eyes, Nadah el Shazly left me breathless, Bootcamp filled me with pride for the punk scene, Hanif Abdurraqib provoked deep reflections on Iowa City and the concept of home, and OSEES had me yearning to be alongside Chris Wiersema.
I’d love to hear about your favorite performances below in the comment section.
Thanks so much for coming and experiencing Mission Creek Festival with us, and I hope to see you soon.
