Gone are the days when music festivals were simply about watching live acts. Cedric McDougle, the visionary behind the Summer Oasis Music Festival, is here to revolutionize your festival experience by curating an immersive journey where music, culture, and nature intertwine. From August 18th to 20th, 2023, join us in Idlewild, Michigan, for the ultimate musical glamping weekend experience.
A quote from McDougle embodies his innovative ethos: “I don’t just give a product; I give an experience. And that’s what separates me from the rest because I am dialed in on that experience that will touch people in ways never before felt. And that’s what makes me different than my competitors. They give products, but I curate experiences.”
As an evolution from an intimate gathering for friends and family, the Summer Oasis Music Festival has grown into a euphoric spectacle. It isn’t just about buying a ticket; it’s about signing up for a journey that breaks norms and invites you to explore a captivating new reality. This isn’t your typical festival; it’s a glamping experience that combines high-energy music with comfort and elegance set against the backdrop of serene nature.
McDougle’s approach extends beyond providing materialistic experiences. His aim is to touch lives, serve others, and create a ripple of joy and camaraderie. As part of his vision, he aspires to elevate Idlewild and other historically significant Black-owned campsites to national prominence, striving to organize four music festivals each year.
The Summer Oasis Music Festival is more than a brand. It’s a vibrant lifestyle that continues to inspire and transform lives, leaving an indelible mark long after the festival is over. It’s not only about shattering traditional camping perceptions; it’s about fostering community, cultural appreciation, and a shared love for music and nature.
Cedric McDougle, a trailblazer in curating unique musical outdoor experiences, invites you to embrace the new perception of camping. With glamping, he is changing the old mindset of camping as a cheap and uncomfortable experience to a luxurious and glamorous one. Despite the challenges of people’s old perceptions, McDougle remains committed to presenting a new reality that transcends preconceived notions and conditioned expectations.
As McDougle continues to innovate, he has his sights set on a bigger picture. He aims to highlight historically Black-owned campsites, many of which were started by former slaves and their descendants, by bringing his music festival to these sites. By doing so, he hopes to revitalize these areas and bring new energy, events, and an influx of resources from people attending the festivals. His goal is to produce music festivals during every season—winter, spring, summer, and fall—to keep the spirit of music and community alive throughout the year.
The Summer Oasis Music Festival is a testament to McDougle’s belief in the transformative power of music and cultural immersion.
