Prairie Pothole Music and Art Festival

Prairie Pothole Music Festival is a grassroots music and arts festival in the heart of the midwest at Aurora Knolls Lodge and Event Center. We are dedicated to offering an eclectic and fresh line-up consisting of international, national, and regional artists as well as a handful of world class painters and visual artists.

Our event organizers have a long history of hosting events in the area and have teamed up with some of the best talent buyers, production personnel, and festival veterans in the midwest to deliver a second to none, midwest festival experience. PPMF began in 2016 with one stage and 6 acts. 5 years later, PPMF will be hosting 4 stages, 40+ musical acts, world-class painters, visual artists, diverse vendors, workshops, a kayak race and so much more!

We offer camping (RV passes available for an additional fee) and have a small lake that is great for swimming and non-motorized boating. Bring your kayak, canoe, or inflatable water toys and cool off in the pothole while watching music on The Lodge Stage!

We host a wide variety of workshops ranging from Yoga & Meditation to traditional trades such as Blacksmithing & Cooking over an open fire!
