Sixteen bands playing everything from bluegrass to rock to Southern rap will perform over three days this weekend at Ocoee River Jam VI.
Ocoee River Jam, the only weekend-long music festival in Ocoee, Tennessee, began in 2013 as a signature event focusing on music and arts of this area. Held at Snyder Farm – aka the Jam Farm – it’s a family-friendly, laid-back atmosphere where music fans can enjoy a variety of genres in one location set against the beautiful backdrop of the Chilhowee Mountain range.
This year’s festival opens Friday afternoon, July 27, continuing through Sunday night, July 29. Passes can be purchased either by the day or the weekend. There is also a Sleeping Under the Stars package for campers that includes shuttle service to two nearby campgrounds.
“We’re extremely excited about our lineup this year. Returning are some of Ocoee’s favorite bands, along with some newbies to the stage,” says Julie Thornton Johnson, president of Ocoee River Jam.
