GENESEO, ILLINOIS (June 16, 2022) — The 2022 Geneseo Music Festival will take place Friday, June 17, through Sunday, June 19, 2022, in Geneseo, Illinois. Geneseo's longest-running annual festival enters its 54th year in 2022. The Geneseo Music Festival is a cornucopia of free family entertainment. Visit Geneseo for free summertime fun on Father's Day Weekend for live music, an expanded collection of craft vendors, food trucks, tractor displays, and experience a classic Midwestern small-town summertime festival atmosphere at its finest!
A schedule of events for the 2022 Geneseo Music Festival weekend can be found in the supplemental document joining this press release. Please refer to the schedule for specific events, times, and locations. Please watch for street closures in Geneseo throughout the weekend, especially in the City Park area.
The 2022 Geneseo Music Festival will feature its classic attractions, such as the improved Music Festival Art and Craft Fair, Music Fest Queen Pageant, Summertime Cookouts supporting local non-profits at the City Park, and will feature live music acts from both Geneseo and the surrounding region. Food trucks will be set up at the City Park during the event, offering selections ranging from barbeque to lemon shake-ups to classic carnival food fair.
Live music can be enjoyed across Geneseo rather than only at the City Park in the evening. Returning this year to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Geneseo Chamber of Commerce is the Geneseo Music Festival Street Dance at the Central Bank Pavilion in Downtown Geneseo, which will feature live music from The Dawn, 8-11PM, Saturday, June 18.
The Geneseo Music Fest is bookended by two popular family-friendly parades — the Kiwanis Doo Dah Parade on Friday evening and the annual Geneseo Music Festival Father’s Day Parade on Sunday afternoon, sponsored by Geneseo Communications. On Sunday, the Gen-Airpark will host its annual Father’s Day Fly-In Breakfast — a popular morning event for families in our area.
Be sure to also shop and dine in Geneseo, as our amazing stores and restaurants will be open during the Geneseo Music Festival, allowing for an opportunity to beat the heat for a few minutes while finding the perfect Father’s Day gift! All events are FREE unless otherwise indicated.
