Mount Carroll Mayfest Music, Arts and Crafts Festival has been a staple of Northwest Illinois culture for 40 years. Located on the gorgeous Shimer College quad in Mount Carroll, IL, the festival hasn’t move very far from its roots as a Student Day Fair at Shimer College in the 60s. Two music stages, a Beer Tent, a Wine Tent, a Food Tent, a KidZone, and vendors throughout the historic quad bring in thousands of visitors from all over Illinois and surrounding states. Grab a Prime Spot if you want the highest traffic near the music and beer/wine tent, those spots are limited and go quickly.

Set up can occur Friday night after 3pm or Saturday 8am. Take down when you need to (I know, right, we aren’t making you stay). But the Sunday night act 7pm is going to be off the charts awesome, so you might want to stick around until then to maximize sales. Suggested take-down is 8/9pm Sunday.

There will be on-site security overnight watching the grounds, but safety and security of your site cannot be completely guaranteed.

There is no access to electricity unless you purchase access. If you want lights, consider solar or battery powered.
