In our 8th year, Midwest Sunsplash will be held for the 4th year in our hometown, Menasha Wisconsin partnering with Youth Go to bring diverse people to the downtown to build awareness for the community and raise funds for the organization. We are adding to the festival’s tradition as a summer music celebration, to focus on building an event that invites people from all corners of our community to have fun together in the sun.

The organizing company, Tui Productions is a Menasha-based music and entertainment management company that started Midwest Sunsplash in 2012. It is owned by Pita Katobalavu, the founder and lead singer of Unity the Band. His partner, Kay Halbrook, has 25 years’ experience in marketing, public relations and event planning working with the Fox Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Door County Chamber of Commerce and many other organizations. She is the Vice President of Telmark Sales Solutions.
Together they have used the Midwest Sunsplash event for the past 5 years to bring awareness to diversity and raise money for non-profit organizations around Wisconsin.
This year, they are partnering with Youth Go to raise money to support that organizations work to help our community’s youth and young adults with opportunities to learn, grow and feel comfortable with themselves and others. Youth Go, Inc. is a non-profit youth drop in center that was founded in 1969 by youth and supportive adults looking for a safe gathering place. Located on the border of Neenah and Menasha, Wisconsin, we are committed to making a lasting and positive difference in the lives of youth.
Through our no-cost Recreation, Education, and Support and Wellness Programming, Youth Go strives to provide underserved and at-risk youth in grades 5 through 12 with opportunities to do well in school, develop as individuals and prepare for their next step in life.
There are many opportunities to get involved with the Festival if you'd like to help us! Check out the Partners page for more information.
