The Mo Pop Festival is a music festival in Detroit. The festival features both emerging as well as established musicians,[1] and its ambiance has been described as "boutique and niche".[2] It showcases indie-rock, pop, and hip-hop music along with local Detroit cuisine and beverages, in addition to endeavoring to bring visitors to the city's riverfront.[3] Though smaller in size, Mo Pop has been compared to other musical festivals such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Pitchfork.[2][3][4] It has also drawn comparisons to other festivals held in the city, namely the Detroit Jazz Festival and Movement Electronic Music Festival.[4]

No event will be held in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame; the 8th is deferred to 2021.
