Originally conceived as a single-day celebration timed with Radio Woodstock’s 25th anniversary, Mountain Jam has blossomed into a three-day, multi-stage event, featuring onsite camping, a full Awareness Village, and one of the Northeast’s most pristine natural amphitheaters. Mountain Jam will also host outdoor late night performances on both Friday and Saturday nights. These starlit performances will complement the festival’s already popular late night offerings in the enclosed Hunter Mountain Lodge.
