New Producers. New Features.
Cincinnati alternative newsweekly CityBeat is producing MidPoint Music Festival for the first time in the event’s seven-year history. New this year will be an expansion of venues into Downtown, along with many of the historic-Over-the-Rhine neighborhood locations used in the past. Two groups of stages are equally divided north and south of Central Parkway, making it easy to walk between venues, and festival transportation will also be available.

“MidPoint is dedicated to fostering growth within Over-the-Rhine and Downtown,” said Dan McCabe, executive producer. “All the recent discussion about Cincinnati possibly getting streetcars in the central part of the city led us to think it would be cool to show folks the proposed streetcar route, which conveniently works with these venues. It’ll give them a real taste of the streetcar movement.”

To demonstrate the potential of Cincinnati streetcars, MidPoint sponsor Scion is making 20 xB crossover vehicles available to help festival attendees cruise between the uptown and downtown clubs along the proposed streetcar route. Less walking means more listening.
