MusicfestNW is a multi-venue music festival that takes place every fall in Portland, Oregon. MusicfestNW was founded by Mark Zusman and Richard Meeker in 1995 as a joint venture between Willamette Week, Meeker and Zusman's Portland Pulitzer Prize-winning alternative weekly,[1] and South by Southwest, the Austin, Texas music festival. It was called North by Northwest until 2001, when Willamette Week took over the festival and renamed it MFNW.
