Basecamp Music Festival in Darlington Cancelled

The event that Coakleys was planning to cater is a no-go, the Harford County Liquor Control Board reported.

Basecamp Music Festival, an event Coakleys was planning to cater in late September, is not going to happen, according to the Harford County Liquor Control Board.

Basecamp was billed as a three-day music festival, where people could camp, do yoga and listen to electronic music at Camp Ramblewood in Darlington Sept. 27 to 29.

Originally, Coakleys postponed its Sept. 11 appearance before the liquor control board, where the pub was scheduled to seek permission to serve alcohol outside.

Restaurant owner Margie Coakley said the festival "may not happen due to poor ticket sales" and wanted more time before appearing before the board, Administrative Assistant Judith Powell reported last week.

On Wednesday, Powell said Coakley had confirmed the event's cancellation as of Sept. 13. The reason was "ticket sales," according to Powell.

Over the summer, Coakley helped organize Lunar Bay, a music festival that drew thousands to Susquehanna State Park.

This article was corrected to indicate that Coakleys was the caterer for Basecamp.
