Dear Buttermilk Jamboree Friends,
Some of your Buttermilk organizers met in March when Covid19 cases were at their lowest point, and we were so optimistic. We dreamed up a modified, smaller Buttermilk Jamboree for 2021. It seemed so possible at the time. Things have changed since then, with Michigan at the literal top of the infection rates chart. It doesn't seem possible to have our Buttermilk Jamboree 2021 festival now given the current circumstances.
Our reasons are many and are both philosophical and practical. We don't want to contribute to uncontrolled spread of a disease that disproportionately affects older adults and minorities - we are a justice seeking organization and we can't see an equitable and safe way to hold our music festival this year. On the practical side, we are required to get governmental authorization to hold our event each year. Right about now is the time we would need to apply for permits, and we can't imagine trying to make a realistic plan for how we would keep everyone safe and healthy right now given the current reality.
We LOVE Buttermilk Jamboree and it is so important to our organization. We create cultural connections with our music festival and we've gained so many friends, members, and dedicated volunteers through having our festival. 2022 has to be better, right? We're planning on a fantastic 2022. We've spent the last 13 months building up our capacity and infrastructure and we're excited to have thousands of people here again.
So, in short, Buttermilk 2021 is postponed to 2022. Put June 17,18,19 2022 down on your calendars for Buttermilk 2022. All tickets from 2020 have automatically rolled over to 2022. If you need a refund, please reach out to us at info@circlepinescenter.net and we'll work it out with you.
Don't forget you can come out to Circle Pines Center, home of Buttermilk Jamboree, year round! Reach out to us to come out for a hike, swim, or a family or solo retreat.

Here are a couple of FAQs:
What if I bought my ticket already?
If you have purchased anything for 2020 and 2021 Buttermilk Jamboree this will AUTOMATICALLY be rolled over to 2022 Buttermilk Jamboree, dates are June 17th-19th, 2022. All ticket purchasers will be receiving a survey explaining in more detail what steps they will need to take if they need a refund instead due to financial hardship. Please use this form to address any ticket need you may have.
Will there be a festival next year?
YES!! We are confident that we will get through this and that 2022, marking our 10th annual festival, will be AMAZING!! Our hope is to work with many of the same performers, vendors, and workshop leaders that we had lined up for this year.
What about a smaller festival for this year?
We are currently working on putting together some form of Skim Milk Festival!! Stay tuned for more on this.
Will all CPC events be cancelled?
No! Circle Pines Center will still be holding our annual Cooperative Youth Summer Camp alongside more recreational and educational opportunities. We're currently hiring all positions for camp! Visit circlepinescenter.org to learn more.
