What Is The Jubilee Jam Tent?

The Jubilee Jam Tent is gathering place for musicians to jam and perform, and for listeners to enjoy an intimate performance setting.

Our motto is "Make Music - Make Friends"

We've seen how music brings people together, how it forms a bond that creates lasting friendships. We set up a space where musicians can meet & mingle, and listeners can enjoy music in a most relaxed setting.

The Jubilee Jam Tent is set up at select festivals. Depending on the festival, we either have a full program of showcases, panels and jams, or we simply open the tent to whatever music may wander through.

At the Black Bear Americana Music Festival you can see and participate in these events, and more...

• Open jams led by stage artists.

• Artist showcases featuring emerging and established acts.

• Workshops and panels giving insight into the music making process.

• Bring your instrument or your voice, or just come to enjoy the music and make friends.

At the Summer Hoot at the Ashokan Center we host an open jam - all ages and all abilities...

• Bring your instrument or your voice, jam with frienfs old and new, or just come to enjoy the music.

Jubilee Jam Tent at Black Bear

Now in a new location and season, Black Bear Music Fest returns August August 13-15, 2027 at the Harwinton Fairgrounds for its 9th year.

Since Black Bear #2, in 2019, the JJT has provided a place for musicians and listeners to gather. Now an established part of the Black Bear experience, we're proud to support the finest Americana music festival in the tri-state area.

Jubilee Jam Tent at the Summer Hoot

Where the Jubilee Jam Tent started. The Summer Hoot is a wonderful, family-oriented music festval on the grounds of the famed Ashokan Center. Set in the scenic Catskill Mountains, where a river fills a pond, cascades over a waterfall, passes under a historic covered bridge, and then into a cliff-lined gorge, the beauty of the setting is matched by the great music and warm welcome you'll receive. It's very affordable, too.

The Jam Tent is set up in the Magical All-Night Musical Campground and is open to jammers in a casual and comfortable space. There are no programmed events like we do at the Black Bear Festival - just jamming and friendship.

Jubilee Jam Tent Events Calendar

Stop by the Jubilee Jam Tent anytime, day or night, for a wonderful musical experience. Events are oriented towards participation and intimacy of setting.
