What a great way to say farewell to Summer! The Midwest Zest Fest has it all...free admission, free parking, fun carnival rides, your favorite festival food, arts & craft booths, live music, contests, a 5K race, and the crowning of a king and queen. And if that's not enough, stop in at the Sour Note Karaoke Bar (the Beer Tent) to whet your whistle and sing a tune. It's three days and over five acres packed full of fun! A wide variety of carnival food to choose from every day! Try the lemony treats sold by select vendors! Handmade arts & crafts mixed with a selection of home-based sellers on display.
