Summer Camp Chillicothe, IL

  • Summer Camp is a three day music festival featuring 3 days of camping and various bands. It started back in 2000 at Three Sisters Park, Chillicothe IL by Jay Goldberg Events and Entertainment and Jam Productions. It's been growing in attendance for fans and performing artists since opening day. Last year, in 2006 it was closed down by a petition from over 80 different medical personnel from OSF St Francis Medical Center. After heavy appeal by Jay Goldberg and the city of Chillicothe the music festival is due to reopen on May 25. Last year the town of Chillicothe, normally with a population of around six thousand, had close to ten thousand in attendance.
