Summer Camp Music Festival at 3 Sisters Park

The first Summer Camp Music Festival was held in 2001 at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL. About 1,000 attended the festival that year, and enjoyed over 20 bands on two stages over the course of two days. Since then, Summer Camp Music Festival has grown to more than 15,000 attendees, hosting more than 100 bands on seven stages over three days. And while the numbers have grown, Summer Camp still maintains the same energy and family feel it had when it started over a decade ago. As one fan put it, “Coming to Summer Camp is like coming home. You’ll run into old friends, meet a ton of great new ones, and have the time of your life.”

Almost tripling the population of Chillicothe for the weekend, Summer Camp creates a city within a city, and greatly impacts the local business economy.

Artists that have performed at the Summer Camp Music Festival in past years include: moe., Umphrey’s McGee, The Flaming Lips, Willie Nelson, Bassnectar, Widespread Panic, Les Claypool, Keller Williams, Pretty Lights, Skrillex, The Roots, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Medeski Martin & Wood, Jane’s Addiction and many, many more!
