Experience a concert event — vintage jam Watkins Glen spirit, under the open sky.
This fall, the spirit of the jam scene comes alive at Jamtoberfest ’26, a full‑day outdoor celebration of music, community, and the improvisational magic that brings fans together. Inspired by the legendary sounds of the Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Phish, and the great jam bands that paved the way, Jamtoberfest transforms the concert field into a groove‑soaked gathering. Incredible musicians, passionate fans, tasty eats, and one‑of‑a‑kind vendors collide in a kaleidoscope of energy.
Bring your chair, blanket, or pop‑up, stretch out on the grass, wander the festival grounds, and let the jams carry you through a day of unforgettable music, playful vibes, and memories that echo the golden age of outdoor jam festivals. Play frisbee, twirl a hula hoop, dance — and most of all, have fun!
Jamtoberfest ’26 takes place October 3 at the Swim &amp; Sport Club in Roxbury Township, 1–9 PM. Tickets are $39 advance / $49 at the gate.
