WHAT IT IS
Four Days.
One Historic
Weekend.A 25+ Music Festival Experience Like No Other
The very first Tents & Tunes Music Glampout is here — a curated, adults-only outdoor experience designed for people who appreciate great music, good company, and a setting that goes far beyond a typical festival.
Camp Manitowa on Rend Lake sets the stage: a private beach, a full pool, outdoor music performances, fire pits, and a community of like-minded adults ready to dance, relax, and connect.
Adults-Only. Vibes Immaculate.
This event is intentionally designed for adults 25 and older — a space to unwind, connect, and celebrate without the chaos.
WHAT'S WAITING FOR YOU
Experience EverythingWhat to Expect

Multiple artists performing all weekend on the outdoor stage. If weather doesn't cooperate, entertainment moves indoors — the music never stops.

Full court on site. Get your runs in between sets or watch the action unfold from courtside.
Grills & Fire Pits
