Nestled on 200 acres of farmland surrounded by the Manistee National Forest, Hoxeyville Music Festival is a testament to pure north country peace and celebration.

Hoxeyville is the midwest's premier Americana and Roots festival. With two stages featuring national touring artists, and the best and brightest Michigan talent with an intimate capacity of 5,000. We are proud of our incredibly supportive community, safe, family friendly camping (and playground!), excellent kids' tent programming, unbelievable food, and an easily traversable site.  

Hoxeyville is strategically located near various mountain biking trails and the Pine River—a national wild and scenic river, world class blue-ribbon trout stream and a renowned paddle sports playground.

RULES

children may not wander the grounds alone or attend the kids tent or playground without a supervising adult(s). Kids tent staff are not liable for the safety of unattended children. You may be asked to leave the event if your children are found wandering the grounds alone. Unattended children distract staff and security from event safety and we ask for your compliance to continue the availability of kids tent and playground facilities.

Hoxeyville's concert bowl is not open to outside alcohol and food because we have a liquor license. Libations are available for purchase and consumption inside the venue. To remain complaint with MLCC regulation, our permit and sponsorships (which make this event possible), NO COOLERS are allowed to enter the concert venue. We provide numerous meal options for purchase, and the best cold water to fill your personal water bottles, as well as N/A options and coffee. Cooler searches take an exorbitant amount of time away from security who are here to ensure your safety.

You are encouraged to bring empty reusable water bottles that can be filled inside the venue. This is a strictly enforced NO GLASS event, and NO KEGS allowed. Plan ahead and put your glass bottled beverages into non-glass containers. Show your support for our fantastic Michigan breweries and stock up on locally CANNED beverages for your campsite!

IF ANY ANIMAL OTHER THAN A LEGITIMATE SERVICE DOG IS FOUND IN YOUR VEHICLE YOU MAY NOT ENTER. 

It is a crime in Michigan to represent a pet, emotional support, companion, therapy animal or other unqualified animal as a service animal or service animal in-training.

State of Michigan: Service Animals in Michigan Frequently Asked Questions

  1. If you will be bringing a service animal and would like to help expedite your entry, please contact us ahead of time. Please be understanding as staff are trained to ask you legal questions regarding your dog. “A public accommodation may ask if the animal is required because of a disability and what work or task the animal has been trained to perform.” “Emotional support” or “comfort for anxiety” are not qualifying medical conditions for service dogs. We take your dog’s safety and that of all attendees very seriously.

  2. When you arrive with your service animal you may camp in ADA camping for you own safety and convenience if you desire.

  3. Neither the ADA nor Michigan’s service animal law includes what are often referred to as “emotional support animals”: animals that provide a sense of safety, companionship, and comfort to those with psychiatric or emotional disabilities or conditions. Although these animals have therapeutic benefits, they are not individually trained to perform specific medical assistance for their handlers. Under the ADA and Michigan law, owners of public accommodations are not required to allow emotional support animals, only service animals.
