The brand new 2025 Be You! Music & Arts Festival will transform 4th & Virginia into a celebration of individuality, freedom, and resilience!
The festival will feature special educational forums, addressing topics such as environmentalism, legislation, human rights, and more; also expect motivational talks with various leaders throughout the event. We ensure a welcoming environment and fun activities for all ages.
A diverse lineup of local and regional musicians will provide live music throughout the evening. Local artists will line the street showcasing and selling their work along with a variety of food and beverage vendors. Noah’s Hope and their four-legged friends will also be part of the fun, and will be joining us for the Diversity Walk across downtown Sioux City.
Raffles from the Be You! Music and Arts Festival will benefit The Braveheart Music Fund, which offers students in the greater Siouxland area the opportunity to go to Midbell Music and receive 4 introductory lessons on an instrument of their choice. Inspired by the life and memory of Cole McClure this allows students to explore their creative and musical potential.
The Be You! Music and Arts Festival will begin at 5 p.m. and will last until midnight on Friday, June 6 at Virginia Street between 3rd and 4th Streets. We will have a clear bag policy and asking for $10 at the door.
