Third year of La Crosse festival kicks off Friday

The weather still may be a bit wintry in La Crosse for this weekend, but a sign of springtime occurs Friday and Saturday, as the Mid West Music Fest brings people downtown.

MWMF will feature a wide variety of musical talent at several locations over the two days of the event.

While some performers will travel halfway across the country to La Crosse, Cavalier Theater owner Jason La Course says plenty of local favorites will be onstage as well, including TUGG and Them Coulee Boys.

More than a thousand ticket buyers are expected to check out the musical acts in La Crosse.

This weekend is the first part of the music fest, with the second part in Winona, April 27-28.
