We have curated a festival that brings together the hard-working men and women who make music throughout these cornfields...and beyond. On top of that, we will present some pretty dang amazing artists from across North America to play alongside our local talent.

Not only are we proud to present all of this great local music, but the heart of Summer Sundown also lies within the community that comes together full of families, festival families, vendors, craftspeople, tradespeople, healers, and music-lovers who all bring their own unique addition to the festival atmosphere and community. Our community keeps growing beyond the Effingham area and we are thrilled to host our friends, new and old, for the 3rd Summer Sundown Music Festival, once and for all, this coming September 9-11, 2022.We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Lake. Bring a friend and be prepared to meet a few hundred new ones! Get excited people, it’s #festivalseason!
