Miesse Fest

Call Website

Miesse Fest Annual event celebrating the life of David Miesse benefiting the Harmony Project of Central Ohio.

David Miesse was a friend to so many and for such great reasons. He lived every bit of his life to the fullest and was warm, inclusive and enthusiastic with every interaction and every person. His humor, intelligence, honesty, and compassion made him a genuine and loyal friend. David's love of family, friends, music and a good party were only matched by his distaste for doing things like everyone else--he was a true, authentic individual. David's life was cut short after this third bout with cancer--he was only 35 when he left us. Even though he left us far too soon and his path was unfair and difficult, David's exuberance was never hindered by his experience with cancer. David's love of music was vast--he could play any instrument he was given and wouldn't pass up any opportunity to join in on a song or drum circle. As a way of acting on his love of music, David was an active and original member of Harmony Project--serving and singing were his gifts to the community. David often said, "rock it steady!" This phrase didn't just apply to his take on music, but it was emblematic of how he lived. There was only one version of David, he was always present, positive, engaged and looking to make those around him happy. David is survived by his wife, Victoria Windsor, and an endless circle of loving family and friends.

We feel extremely honored to have gotten the chance to play Miesse Fest last night! Nestled in the heart of Bexley is a backyard festival that will warm your heart and benefit The Harmony Project. Special thanks to Joe Miesse. A cozy afternoon quickly turned into fireside jams with people of all ages getting funky and singing together! None of this would be happening of course without the memory of the late David Miesse. You've touched so many lives.

2026 Miesse Fest is in the books and we want to send a huge THANK YOU to all who were able to help support another super successful event. Together, we raised over $20,000.

Not bad for a big backyard party! David would be amazed.

So much love and appreciation,

Joe Miesse & the Miesse Fest Steering Team
