The Mishawaka Business Association (MBA) is hosting its 20th Annual Kamm Island Fest (KIF).  This year’s festival is scheduled for Wednesday, July 19th, 2023 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.  The committee is working hard to make our 20^th anniversary very special!  Watch for updates with details.

Kamm Island Fest is a staple of Mishawaka’s summer entertainment season and draws upon the rich history of Kamm Island and the development of Mishawaka’s River Walk.  A portion of the proceeds from the event are distributed to local civic and charitable groups and a portion is used to underwrite and develop on-going MBA activities.  Kamm Island Fest is the main fundraiser for the MBA.  Its success is key in supporting the MBA mission as a resource and advocate for the Association's members.

Unlike other summer events or festivals in Mishawaka, Kamm Island Fest is an adult only event.  Admission to the island is limited to age 21 and over.
