Summer Camp Music Festival Organizer Addresses Location & Dates

Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois has been the home to the long-running Summer Camp Music Festival since its first installment way back in 2001. A recent report from the Commercial News out of Danville, Illinois reported that the Vermillion County Conservation District board approved a music festival for Kennekuk County Park next year and though Summer Camp wasn’t mentioned, all signs from the details of the article point towards SCamp being this music festival. Summer Camp founder Ian Goldberg has issued a statement today officially confirming the dates and location of next year’s festival.

Goldberg has revealed his team has come to an agreement with Three Sisters Park to bring Summer Camp back to Chillicothe, Illinois. As per usual, Summer Camp will take place over Memorial Day Weekend, which puts the dates for the next installment at May 26 – 28, 2017. Advance Early Bird tickets go on sale Wednesday, December 14 at 12 p.m. CT via the festival’s website. Stay tuned for the first lineup announcement.

Dear Summer Camp Fam,

I am pleased to announce that we have come to an agreement with Three Sisters Park. Summer Camp Music Festival 2017 will again take place at its longstanding home in Chillicothe, Illinois.

I know the past couple weeks have been a bit unsettling, and I greatly appreciate all the support we received from you.

It was refreshing and inspiring to feel all your love. It again renewed my faith and commitment to doing what we do.

I would like to thank the great people at Kennekuk County Park, The Vermillion County Conservation District, and the community in Danville, who, knowing the uncertainty of the situation, put untold hours into helping us devise a plan to move should it have become necessary. As I stated before, I am hoping that relationship will turn into fruitful ventures in the future.

But again, most of all I must thank you, our loyal fans, for continuing to support this crazy journey we embarked on 16 years ago and for continuing to show that know matter the turns and twists, it all comes down to a love for the music and community that we have grown together.

Much Love – Can’t wait to see you at Summer Camp 2017!!
