Summer just got bigger and better on the shores of Lake Kampeska! The beloved Cookin’ on Kampeska is back July 16–18, 2026, at Stokes-Thomas Lake City Park, and this year we’re turning up the fun — with a fresh format that ditches the BBQ competitions and brings a bigger, more vibrant, music-first festival experience to the community.

This year’s event will feature headliners: IV Play, 3 Hour Download, and Ivory!
