As the sun sets on the 22-year saga of the Summer Camp Music Festival, the minds behind this beloved event are gearing up for something fresh and exciting. They’re rolling out “Solshine: A Music and Arts Reverie” in 2024, a brand-new festival that’s stirring up quite the buzz.
Picture this: the scenic Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois, transforming into a festival wonderland from May 24-26, 2024, with a kick-off pre-party on the 23rd. Solshine is the next chapter in a story that began with humble roots and grew into something extraordinary.
Summer Camp’s journey from a 2,000-strong crowd in 2001 to over 25,000 fans in 2023 is the stuff of legend. Things go beyond the music with this event, it is the vibe, the people, and the experience. The festival’s been home to moe. and Umphrey’s McGee, bands that aren’t just performers but part of the festival’s soul.
Over the years, Summer Camp’s stages have seen a who’s who of music – from the rock legends like Tom Petty to the boundary-pushing sounds of Skrillex. It’s been a wild ride of genres and styles, all blending into one epic musical journey.
Solshine embraces diverse music, from jam bands to electronic artists, peppered with workshops, tasty food, and all sorts of crafts. It’s like stepping into a little slice of creative heaven.
At its core, Solshine is about bringing people together. It’s about that shared love for music, art, and making a difference. With special spots like The Illumination Woods and the SOULPATCH garden, it’s a nod to sustainability and learning.
The venue, Three Sisters Park, is more than just a backdrop; it’s a part of the festival’s character, offering stunning views and a unique atmosphere. And for those who love the full festival experience, camping is part of the deal, with various options to suit everyone’s style.
So, as we eagerly await the lineup for this new adventure, Solshine: A Music & Arts Reverie is shaping up to be a fusion of past and future, a celebration of community, music, and the arts. It’s the beginning of something special, and you can feel the excitement in the air.
