LDB Fest
Put on annually from 2013 to current except for a COVID off-year, previously known as Midwest Blood Fest. The name changed in 2018 not long before the event to match up with LDB Records. Organized by Ryan Storey Alex Rhema, Colin Feeney, and Julia with an increasing amount of volunteer help from the local community.
For the 2024 edition, the fest has joined forces officially with BBB Records from Boston.
