7 Reasons to Start Your Festival Season With Gem & Jam Music Festival 2017

TUSCON, ARIZONA — In the first week of February, 50k people will meet up at the Pima County Fairgrounds to attend Gem & Jam Music Festival in Tuscon, Arizona. This festival features music, art, and vendors from around the U.S. Here are 11 reasons to start your festival season early and attend Gem & Jam Music Festival this year:

1. The Music

With its 11th year running, we believe this will be the best year yet for Gem & Jam Music Festival. The lineup is diverse and staked with artists such as Mike Gordon from PHISH, Gramatik, G Jones, The Floozies, Com Truise, Electric Feel, Lotus, an All-Star Grateful Dead Tribute Set, featuring: Steve Kimock & Friends and other genre bending talented artists. This is the best jam band festival your money can buy. Check out the Gem & Jam Music Festival 2017 lineup below:

2. New Venue

According to sources, the new venue is bigger and better than ever. With more space and grassy lands for camping, dust and space shouldn’t be a problem. From our research of the Pima County Fairgrounds, the 600 acres of land is perfect for this upcoming and budding festival.

3. Gems, Minerals, and Fossils

If you didn’t know, Gem & Jam will be full of gem, mineral, and fossil vendors. For all you collectors, geologist, mineralogist, festival junkies, this is heaven. We ourselves at Electric Feels cannot wait to support local businesses while we add to our collections.

4. The Artwork

Much of the art and installations at the festival are from artists across the U.S, and local. There will also be high-end art galleries. If you really like a piece, feel free to place a bid and see where it goes. You will have a one-of-a-kind unique piece that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

In previous years, Alex Grey and Alyson Grey have led the creative workshops. And while musicians perform on stage, talented artists paint to the music creating one-of-a-kind pieces of work.

5. The Stages

With Gem & Jam Festival expanding in size this year, this means the stages will satisfy the chronic festival-goer. As years have progressed, the stages have improved, and we predict the same for this year and cant be more excited for the reveal!

6. The Vendors

Gem & Jam is hosted during Tucson’s Gem, Mineral, and Fossil convention, and many of the vendors travel cross-country to sell their products at this festival. Many of the vendors are small businesses selling handmade good so when you’re buying that one of a kind present for yourself or a loved one, you’re supporting a small business. Who doesn’t love that?

7. The People

From the workers, to the festival attendees, everyone is amazing with great attitudes. The vibes from the people make you feel like everyone is your friend, and you’ll make many life-long relationships by the end of your trip.
