Yet another great festival for you to check out this summer, SummerCamp Rib & Music Fest is coming to Jonathan Rogers Park from June 21st to the 23rd.
Presented by The Narrow Group and The Festival Company, they look to bring not just another event, but an unforgettable experience for you to have this summer. Whether you’re a family seeking quality time together, friends in search of some good food, or a music enthusiast hoping for some old school bangers, SummerCamp offers something for everyone. The festival will have adult sized garden games such as tug-of-war, giant beer pong, and a classic water fight.
“Adults seem to miss out on all the summer fun that kids have… SummerCamp Festival grew out of our goal of creating an event which would let grown-ups be free, fun, and creative like kids, even with their kids… We’ve brought all the best things about summer days — music, games, food — made them adult-sized and dropped into one place.” Billie Jo Aasen, The Festival Company, Founder.
This will be a barbeque experience like no other at the SummerCamp Rib & Music Fest, where some of the nation’s top rib and food trucks will converge to serve your taste buds with their mouth watering offerings. From savoury ribs to tasty street eats, there’s something for every palate. In addition to the delicious food, lose yourself in the sounds of live music and DJs as they provide the perfect backdrop for your festival experience, so go and soak up the vibrant atmosphere. But of course as most festivals go, definitely go check out the local artisan vendor market, where talented craftsmen and artisans showcase their unique creations. From handmade jewelry to one-of-a-kind artworks, you’ll find treasures to take home as mementos of your SummerCamp adventure.
What’s even better about this festival, is that any money spent there is going straight to raising funds for the Lifted Organization, a charity which supports local youth and mental health initiatives. The organization was founded by Canadian country artist Dallas Smith.
If you’re looking to go, remember, it’s free! All you have to do is show your tickets at the entrance, and you have full access to the event. The SummerCamp Rib & Music Fest will be on Friday June 21st from 12:00pm to 10:00pm, Saturday June 22nd from 11:00am to 10:00pm, and Sunday June 23rd from 11:00am to 8:00pm.
