Every spring, Iowa City’s Mission Creek Festival brings together musicians, writers and fans for a citywide bonanza. Concerts and readings take place at various venues, including local shops temporarily adapted for live performances.

This year’s event, April 3-5, features creative folks from Iowa City and beyond. Some artists are well known, like Rachel Kushner and Neko Case, while others are relatively niche, just waiting to be discovered.
