Mid by Midwest is a two-day, multi-venue music festival held in Detroit, Michigan.

From its conception, the purpose of this festival has been to raise awareness of Detroit's musical community while also giving something back to Southeast Michigan's community-at-large. Exactly half of this year's profits are being donated to HAVEN, a shelter for battered women which does extraordinary work in Southeast Michigan. The remainder is being offered back to the bands who are making this event a reality (although a number of MXMW's acts have already committed to donating their payments to HAVEN as well.)

The 2001 Mid by Midwest festival was an incredible two nights. Thanks to all who attended, all the performers, and all the area businesses and talented individuals who made the festival possible.
See y'all in 2002.
