About Us

Mid Summer Music Fest is an annual music festival that is held on 150 acres of land just outside of Menahga, Minnesota, known as "the gateway to the pines".  

The festival was founded in 2019 by festival enthusiast, musician/songwriter, and entrepreneur, Trinity Junes. The first Mid Summer Music Fest was scheduled to take place July 2-4, 2020, but with Covid-19 restrictions, it was postponed until July 1-3, 2021. The first year was a combination of 80s, 90s, and 2000s rock that included Jackyl, Quiet Riot, Jack Russell's Great White, Saving Abel, and many other artists.  

In the fall of 2021, Trinity welcomed business partners Brett, Brad, and Jackie Carlson. Brothers Brett and Brad both have business backgrounds, as Brett owns Farm Bureau Financial Services Agency, and Brad owns a construction company. Brad's wife, Jackie, is great with customer service and helps keep everything organized. Each of the four owners contribute different skills and knowledge that make them a perfect team.  

The second festival took place July 21-23, 2022. Thousands of people attended to see Scott Stapp of Creed, Sebastian Bach, Buckcherry, Saliva, Black Stone Cherry, and many other artists.  

The third festival took place July 20-23, 2023. It was our biggest year yet and included Theory of a Deadman, Pop Evil, Cinderella's Tom Keifer, Powerman 5000, L.A. Guns, and many other artists.

Our goal is to provide a memorable, unique, fun, and safe festival experience for all who attend. We are excited to continue to grow and make each event bigger and better than the last.
