With 230 acres of space to explore throughout the weekend, there is more than enough space for camping, parking and loads of fun. Come party with Dark Star Orchestra, Los Lobos, Hot Tuna, Infamous Stringdusters, and many other great acts. Come stay the whole weekend, or just pop in for a day. Buy tickets in advance to save a few bucks. Camping and parking for standard vehicles is included in the ticket price.
Camp Kee-Wanee will be hosting the Strangecreek Campout this weekend in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
