Summer Camp Postpones To August Amid Coronavirus Concerns

The annual Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe is postponed to late August. In a video message, festival founder Ian Goldberg says he made the decision to push the concert festival back from Memorial Day weekend after consulting with local and state emergency management officials on the COVID-19 crisis. Goldberg says purchased tickets will still be valid. The festival's headliners and most of the other 100-plus acts booked have agreed to perform on the new August 21-23 dates. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the annual music festival at Three Sisters Park. It draws thousands of people to Central Illinois every year.
