Nestled on 75 + acres of pristine north country farmland and natural hardwood forest -- within the Manistee National Forest -- is a testament to pure north country peace and hootenanny. Hoxeyville will boast 2 stages of national touring artists as well as a 3rd stage featuring the best and brightest talent from around our beautiful state! Right next door, is a modern campground with full amenities, including a swimming pool, showers, plug-ins, dump station and wireless Internet. With an increased capacity of 8,500 and an amazing lineup, 2009 promises to be the grandest incarnation to date.
As always, the festival site will have a Disc Golf Course Designed by Stephanai Myers of Disc Golf Michigan. The festival site is also strategically located near various mountain biking trails and the Pine River, a National Wild and Scenic River, a world class blue-ribbon trout stream, and a renowned paddle sports playground. Kestelwoods restaurant, party store and campground is a convenient 6 minute walk from the festival grounds.
