Ahoy, Midtowners!

We can't wait to dive into our 6th season of Midtown with a show dedicated to our city's namesake, the Big Sioux River and her Falls! So, join us on Friday, September 4th at the historic Orpheum Theater in DTSF for the show we're simply calling: "Midtown: A River Runs Through It."

We are excited to partner with and their signature event, Riverfest, for this show. Riverfest is a huge celebration of the river that takes place on September 19 in DTSF... down by the river! You can expect a Midtown show that positively overflows with water-adjacent songs, made-for-radio skits, fish stories (don't get, started...), and far too many river puns. We will also attempt to make amends for all the jokes we have made about our fair river over the years. Don't miss the boat and get those tickets!

Midtown tickets are available at the Sioux Falls Orpheum website: https://www.siouxfallsorpheum.com/event/midtown-coffee-radio-hour-26-27/
