We will be set up in the west field of the park, near the corner of Poplar Ave and 29th St. The event starts around 6pm, the fire performances start around 7pm, end at 10pm, & the park closes at 11pm. Feel free to come early to grab a seat, or join the drum circle! There is parking all around the park, but as always, it will be limited, so we recommend arriving early to find parking.

For more information about the Jams, please visit fullmoonjam.org.

As always, we want to take a moment to remind everyone of our event policies:

If you do not have a drum, please do not enter the drum circle! This year, we have also added an Accessibility Seating area located adjacent to our restricted performer area. This seating area will be highlighted with signs and roped off with lights. We ask that everyone respect the designated areas and each other's spaces.

If you have a chair or umbrella, please do NOT sit in the front row! Please allow those with blankets to sit in the front row so everyone can have a better view of the performances.

Please take a few moments to HELP US CLEAN UP the park at 10pm! Our event is entirely volunteer-run, and much of our crew has been on site for over 7 hours by the end of the night and are exhausted, so we appreciate everyone's support with our clean-up efforts and helping to make sure the park is cleaner than when we arrived. If you need trash bags or gloves, please come find us on the south end of the circle.

Attendees MUST leave the park by 11pm. The police will be flashing their lights at the end of the night and letting folks know to clear out. It is extremely important that we maintain a good relationship with the city so that we can continue to host the Jams for years to come. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!
