Description:

We are very, very sad to announce that Moccasin Creek Festival 2020 has been cancelled. It was a difficult and painful decision, but one that had to be made. We feel we waited as long as we could to make this decision in the hopes that something big would change the situation on the ground with Covid pandemic, but that magic has not come. We understand that people have travel and lodging plans, and we have our own time-sensitive planning issues. We are almost to the 30 day point and that meant we had to make a decision. While we love the talented performers who occupy the stage, it is our patrons who were foremost in our hearts and minds as we considered this path. We love you and hope you will stay safe and that we will see you June 17-20, 2021. Most of the performers have already agreed to come next year. Ticket-holders, please watch for an email explaining your options moving forward. Thank you! Here is the press release with a little more information: Poss Music Works, NFP has made the very difficult decision to call off the Moccasin Creek Festival for 2020 because of the current Covid-19 pandemic. After much consideration and deliberation, it has become clear that conditions will not improve enough to safely hold the festival. All the performers have been contacted and have expressed their support for this decision. Most performers have already agreed to perform at the 2021 festival which is scheduled for June 17-21. Executive Director Bill Poss announced the decision to artists on Tuesday, May 5. “It was an incredibly difficult and emotional decision for the board. Nobody wanted to say out loud what was becoming obvious, but we understand that people are making decisions about travel and lodging, and we have issues that require time-sensitive planning as well. Even if we believed that it was safe and doable, we worried that the decision is likely to be taken out of our hands. And ultimately, we don’t want to endanger anyone or to be ‘part of the problem’. Ticket holders will receive an email this week about how to proceed with their tickets. So far, we've booked the following artists for 2020. Stay tuned for more. Moccasin Creek Festival is an annual 4-day music festival, which typically celebrates other arts and crafts as well. It takes place at beautiful Lake Sara in Summit Township, just west of Effingham, Illinois. The lake was created in the 1950's from five creeks that run through the basin. One of those creeks was named Moccasin Creek by a surveyor named Tipsword in the 1850's, because of moccasin tracks he found on the banks. The founder of Moccasin Creek Festival is Bill (Poss) Passalacqua, an Effingham native who has built his life around writing, performing and promoting music. The Passalacqua family has a rich musical history, and Bill has three brothers, all of whom are musicians. Each of them have followed in father Larry's musical footsteps. Folk, bluegrass, alternative country, roots rock, and blues - Americana music. This is what MCF is all about - in an outdoor setting, using a venue with great acoustics, at a beautiful time of year. Food and beverages sold on site. Kids activities. Camping is next door to the festival venue, as well as cabins for rent. There is a beach and golf course within walking distance.
