Mission Freak is the online home of the Mission Creek Festival.

The Mission Creek Festival is dedicated to inspiring and building Iowa City’s artistic community through the exposure of both underground and renowned artists. The four-day annual festival takes over the venues and art spaces in downtown Iowa City, providing an easily navigated nexus of music, literature, and visual art.

With the launch of the Mission Freak site we have expanded our range to promoting and supporting the local scene on a daily basis. With blog posts Monday thru Friday (sometimes even on the weekends too!) we will keep you plugged into the Iowa City arts scene by shedding light on local cultural happenings as well as the national and international flavor that comes through town. If it involves music, writing, or people painting or holding 16-mm cameras, we’re into it.

We can’t be everywhere all of the time so let us know what’s going down — send us email, CDs, home made cookies…
