Catskill Chill Announces New Home For 2016

After the first six years of Catskill Chill were held at Camp Minglewood in Hancock, New York; the 2016 installment of the festival will be held at a new home. Today, Chill organizers revealed this year’s festival will take place at a remote private summer camp in Lakewood, Pennsylvania September 23 – 25.

Catskill Chill’s new location is a mere 15 miles from the original Camp Minglewood. The new venue has been dubbed “New Minglewood” to pay homage to the festival’s original location. Returning features include cabins for rent, paved pathways throughout the camp, a beautiful lakefront, covered stage facilities, free parking, and free camping. Additional highlights of New Minglewood include indoor movie theaters, indoor and outdoor spaces for yoga, art, and wellness workshops, an easy-to-traverse campus, and “closer than ever” parking. While the “B Stage” and Club Chill will remain covered venues, this will mark the first year that the Chill will present an outdoor Main Stage for attendees to enjoy music in the open air, under the stars.

“New Minglewood felt like home the second we set foot on the campus”, said Chill founder Dave Marzollo in a press release. “Ultimately, we appreciate what the Chillfam has grown to love and we want to continue to provide exactly that – an intimate experience which delivers big name acts up close and personal in a private environment where our ‘all love, all the time’ culture flourishes. We can’t wait to share it with the world.”

A limited number of Blind Faith tickets will go on sale starting on Thursday, February 4 at 1 p.m. ET for $150 ahed of the fest’s initial lineup announcement.
