The International Quint Cities Festival [IQCF], founded in 2020, is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit corporation and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) public charity. We are building our annual festival on the same day of the Bix 7 race. We believe obtaining the best musical, film, arts, culture & culinary talents will help make our region a vibrant, inclusive tourist destination. We believe our annual festival will help build our local economy, local businesses and continue making the Quint Cities region a premier place. Further, we believe our festival will help end the systemic causes of the plight of our marginalized, vulnerable populations.
