Jefferson County’s Midwest Fire Fest
Jefferson County’s Midwest Fire Festival is a magical event, unlike anything else! In the heart of Downtown Cambridge, this two-day festival features live music, food trucks, a beer tent and incredible artist pop-ups coming from all over the midwest. Renowned blacksmiths, Forgers, ceramicists and more hold demonstrations, exhibitions and ‘fire’ sales of their work. Five unique artists guide our story, showcasing all the passion and excitement you can find here leading up to the epic main event: a nearly ten-foot sculpture reveal, escaping the flames of a nearly 20 foot wood-fired kiln. You don’t want to miss out.
