Middfest got off with a clean sweep with the traditional street cleaning that took place with some of Middletown's most important citizens. See how many Middletownians you recognize.

Middletown's Biggest event, Middfest is bringing the Netherlands to town this year. Each year Middletown holds a Middfest featuring a different host country since 1981. Last year's host country was China.

See and hear traditional dress, songs, dancing from people from the Netherlands.

Middfest is being hosted in Donham Plaza next to Middletown's most famous inn, the Manchester Inn, and the Middletown city building.
