Southwest Music Festival, hosted by the Platteville Regional Chamber, kicks off Platteville's Hometown Festival Week each year in July. Live music is featured on the main stage which is placed right in the middle of our historic 2nd Street. In addition to the music, we will have raffle prizes, a 50/50 drawing and pull tabs. Feel free to bring your own lawn chair. Anyone under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a guardian. 

BLUE STEEL was forged in the fire of two music styles, Country & Rock. With powerful male and female lead vocals, supported by rich three-part harmonies, and backed by some of the finest musicians, they deliver an unforgettable musical experience.
