Showcation is more than a music festival; it is a summer camp for adults. Returning to Camp Ramblewood this May with a bold new lineup and its most immersive experience yet, the 3rd year festival is building off its roots. Showcation goes beyond the music, bringing comedy, your favorite camp activities, themed parties, and more to Maryland. It is different from any camping festival you have ever attended.

Showcation isn’t playing the copy-paste festival game, and Phase One proves it. The lineup leans into contrast over comfort, stacking forward-thinking electronic energy from Baauer and Daniel Allan alongside left-field curveballs like Chanpanand BoysGo To Jupiter. It’s discovery-first curation at its core: genre-fluid, unpredictable, and built for people who want new sounds, not recycled lineups. In Parallel, Sonia Sol, Super Future, UNIIQU3, and more will join them in Maryland.

Rounding out the lineup is none other than the camp director himself, Jimmy Corks. Joining him are Narasimha, Mayv, Super Future, Nev Sings, & support from the Pretty Good Show DJ’s to take Showcation to another level.

Beyond music, Showcation layers in comedy, nostalgia, and chaos. The weekend includes a 2000s-inspired house party, themed pool parties, live band karaoke, and a punk rock battle of the bands. Fan-favorite experiences like Frick Frack Blackjack, the Clown Cult, and nightly comedy sets from Charlene Kaye, Erik Scott, Mark Little, Bryan Vogt Nilsen, Alex Fox, and Showcation veteran Sean Millea.

I am super pumped to play some of my favorite childhood activities again, like dodgeball, basketball, canoeing, and kickball. Soundcamps and sunrise afters will be returning this year. My favorite of them is the Jellyfish Collective. I have had the pleasure of DJing with them, and they always put on quite a show. They will take you into their underwater dreamworld filled with immersive lasers, hypnotic lights, and deep, driving beats.

Attendees are sorted into camp teams and earn points through days full of interactive games. Camp Olympics, mixology classes, nature hikes, and more will have your team potentially win the grand prize. The festival offers epic group experiences like floatie pool parties, Showcation’s Got Talent, secret house raves, Mario Kart Grand Prix, Yoga, Are you smarter than a 4th grader, and more.

Communal meals, comfortable cabins, and plenty of unstructured play give campers everything they need to make new friends and craft their own adventure. Themed parties are the core of Showcation with Wet Hot American Summer, Project X House Party, and Punk Rock Battle of the Bands.

This is the ultimate kick-off to summer from May 15-17. Limited Tier 3 Tickets remain. At an awesome price of just $249, you don’t want to miss it. Ticket information can be found here.
