Lost 40 Summer Music Festival
August 8th - 11th 2024Jack McGowan's History Farm
Mankato, MN
Exciting news! Our venue for the upcoming summer's music festival has been officially chosen. Get ready for an extraordinary experience at Jack McGowan's History Farm, a location that stands out as the ideal setting for a music festival. Nestled on a peninsula at the confluence of the Blue Earth and LaSure rivers, this site is surrounded by sandbars and features numerous shallow pools of water—so don't forget to pack your swimsuit! The property boasts predominantly wooded areas, allowing for primitive woods camping.
Jack's Farm is more than just a festival venue; it serves as a miniature living history farm and is home to History Fest. Every elementary school student within a 90-mile radius embarks on a yearly bus trip to experience this historical feast. The property is teeming with activities and hidden Easter eggs, providing an immersive journey into its rich history.
As visitors to Jack's farm, we kindly request the utmost respect for the land and facilities. When camping in the primitive woods area, we encourage a leave-no-trace ethos—pack in and pack out. Additionally, as the convergence point of two significant waterways, the area holds historical significance dating back many years. Lost 40 kindly asks attendees not to collect rocks during their time on the property. Let's make the Lost 40 Summer Music Festival a celebration of music and nature while honoring this exceptional location.
