Catskill Chill Has Found a New Home
After celebrating its last year at beloved Camp Minglewood in 2015, Catskill Chill has found a new home in Lakewood PA. Keeping with their ever-present ‘adult summer camp’ theme, the festival will be held at a private and remote summer camp from September 23-25th, 2016. Paying homage to their original site, the new venue has been dubbed “New Minglewood,” and although the event is moving across the state line to Pennsylvania, the new venue is only 15 miles from the original Camp Minglewood.
The Chillfam can expect many of the same amenities that they have grown accustomed to… and more! Returning features include cabins for rent, paved pathways throughout the camp, a beautiful lakefront, covered stage facilities, free parking, and free camping. Additional highlights of New Minglewood include indoor movie theaters, indoor and outdoor spaces for yoga, art, and wellness workshops, an easy-to-traverse campus, and “closer than ever” parking. While the “B Stage” and Club Chill will remain covered venues, this will mark the first year that the Chill will present an outdoor Main Stage for attendees to enjoy music in the open air, under the stars.
Catskill Chill features international and regionally touring artists, daily yoga, wellness workshops, live art, a farmer’s market, craft and food vendors, a communal bonfire, and an open mic. Past performers include The Metermen with Page McConnell, Umphrey’s McGee, moe., Yonder Mountain String Band, Lotus, The New Deal, Keller Williams, Lettuce, Electron, Galactic and many more.
“New Minglewood felt like home the second we set foot on the campus,” says Chill founder Dave Marzollo. “Ultimately, we appreciate what the Chillfam has grown to love, and we want to continue to provide exactly that – an intimate experience which delivers big-name acts up close and personal in a private environment where our ‘all love, all the time’ culture flourishes. We can’t wait to share it with the world.”
A festival moving locations could often be seen as a sign of instability, but this move is certainly due to the festival growing and evolving, and we can’t wait to see what this new location has in store for us. A limited number of Blind Faith tickets will go on sale starting on Thursday, February 4th at 1 pm EST for $150.
