13th Shoe Fest Returns to Illinois Labor Day Weekend 2024: Molly Tuttle, Kyle Hollingsworth, Cornmeal, MORE!
Shoe Fest 2024 Labor Day Weekend with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Cornmeal featuring Allie Kral, Ghost-Note, The Last Revel, Neighbor, Old Shoe, Chicago Farmer and more.
“One More Dance before Summer turns to Fall.”
The 13th annual Shoe Fest will be held on Labor Day weekend (August 30 – September 1) at Camp Shaw-Waw-Nas-See in Manteno, IL. Camp Shaw is a 200 acre venue with beautiful big tree shade, a crystal clear creek, showers and bathrooms and family camping. This three-day camping event celebrates community and the creativity spirit that brings us together through art, nature, and world renowned and local live music.
Shoe Fest is very family friendly and has expanded their morning family activities to include sets of music by Mr. Dave Music For Kids and the Future of Rock Showcase, Painting With the Shoe Kids by Jon Griffin, The 4th Annual Shoe Duck Race, Kung Fu for Kids, Joyfulbubbles and more. They have also created a “kids tribe” each morning, where each child gets to meet other kids and participate in activities such as hikes, face painting, crafts etc. Another creative event for families is a workshop in which attendees can build their own percussive instruments.
Shoe Fest began in 2011 and continues to grow each year in size and spirit. The festival has two stages of music with no overlapping sets with an emphasis on roots music; such as folk, folk rock, bluegrass, and jamband. Shoe Fest is about providing a space where every attendee, including the plants and animals who share the grounds, are respected and well accounted for, as well as a place where even the eldest of patrons can feel like a kid again.
“One More Dance before Summer turns to Fall.”
