Relive Phish’s Iconic IT Festival with UMPI’s Retrospective Exhibition
The University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) presents a vibrant look back at Phish’s unforgettable IT Festival with the UMPI Phish Retrospective Exhibition. Held at the historic Loring Air Force Base in 2003, the IT Festival was a monumental event that drew thousands of fans and became a defining moment in the band’s career. This exhibition showcases a carefully curated collection of photographs, artwork, and memorabilia from the festival, allowing fans and newcomers alike to experience the spirit and energy of this unique Phish gathering.
Phish’s IT Festival was more than a concert; it was a multi-day celebration filled with unique setlists, improvisational jams, and interactive art installations that captured the band’s experimental nature and deep connection with their fan base. The UMPI exhibition captures these elements through rare images and artifacts that transport visitors back to that magical weekend at Loring. Whether you attended the festival or are discovering it for the first time, the UMPI Phish Retrospective Exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the artistry and culture surrounding one of Phish’s most beloved performances.
Join us at UMPI to experience the legacy of Phish’s IT Festival, explore visual stories of the band and fans, and connect with the enduring impact this event has on music history.
