Longtime fans of the Summer Camp Music Festival have been on edge this years, with rumors circulating that the beloved Chillicothe, IL festival would change locations from the Three Sisters Park to the Kennekuk County Park, site of the former Phases Of The Moon Festival, and roughly two hours driving from the festival’s current location. The festival’s Founder and Director released a statement to address the concern, assuring that the rumors of consideration were true but a decision had not yet been made.

Today, the festival excitingly confirms that the 17th annual Summer Camp Music Festival will take place at Three Sisters Park on May 26, 27, and 28 of 2017. Here is the official statement from Summer Camp Music Festival Founder and Director, Ian Goldberg, which opens the door to potential future ventures at the Kennekuk County Park.

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!!

Ian Goldberg
