TENTS & TUNES 2026

About Us

About Love, Peace & Happiness

Love, Peace & Happiness is an events organization dedicated to creating intentional, adults-only experiences that center community, music, and joy. We believe the best events are intimate ones — where everyone knows why they're there and the energy reflects it.

What is Tents & Tunes?

Tents & Tunes is our first annual Music Glampout — a four-day outdoor music experience at Camp Manitowa on Rend Lake in Benton, Illinois. September 10–13, 2026.

This is not a typical music festival. It's a curated gathering of 275 adults who appreciate great music, good food, and a setting that goes beyond the ordinary. Live music, a private beach, a pool, fire pits, kayaking, and buffet meals — all in one place, all weekend long.

Why Camp Manitowa?

Camp Manitowa sits on the shores of Rend Lake in southern Illinois — accessible from Chicago, St. Louis, and beyond, yet tucked away enough to feel like a true escape. The grounds offer everything we need: an outdoor stage, a large in-ground pool, a private beach, cabins, yurts, and open space to breathe.

Why Adults 25+?

This event is intentionally designed for a grown-folks crowd. We want an atmosphere of ease, intention, and mutual respect. The 25+ policy isn't about exclusion — it's about creating the right energy for the experience we're building.
