🍔 Come hungry. We’ve got you covered.

Music Fest isn’t just about the music. Make sure you leave some room for all the food waiting for you downtown!

Grab dinner before Friday night’s music, stop for something between Saturday activities or find a festival treat while you’re walking around.

There will be plenty of options in the Mahomet Music Fest Food Court throughout the weekend.

📅 August 28 & 29
📍 Downtown Mahomet

What’s the FIRST festival food you’re looking for?

Thank you, for your partnership!
