Information:
Summer
Camp Music Festival is a jam music
festival held each Memorial Day
weekend at Three Sisters Park in
Chillicothe, Illinois. Developed by
concert producer Ian Goldberg of Jay
Goldberg Events & Entertainment, the
first year of the fesitval was 2001.
Summer Camp is a co-promotion of Jay
Goldberg Events & Entertainment and
Jam Productions.
The
music festival features a variety of
activities. There is a Kids Camp
area where the coordinators make
sure that there are plenty of
activities for children. This is a
family-friendly area where an adult
must accompany the child and
participate in the fun. The Kids
Camp parade allows kids to dress up
in costumes furnished by the
festival or made by the kids
themselves. The parade route
encompasses the festival site,
passing through the campgrounds.
Despite criticism over confiscating
all alcoholic beverages during
check-in, and then reselling them
inside the venue, the festival
maintains that this is to encourage
a family atmosphere.
In
2008, the Summer Camp Music Festival
featured 6 stages: the Moonshine
Stage; the Sunshine Stage; the
Camping Stage; the Late Night Stage;
the Campfire Stage; and, new in
2008, the Star Shine Stage. The
festival has featured the band moe.
Each year of its existence. Summer
Camp 2008 was broadcast live online
on iClips. In 2009 the festival
features a Hot Air Balloon ride and
is sponsored in part by Major League
Baseball.
