Hey everyone! The first Jam of our 21st anniversary season will be at Foster Beach (5100 N Simonds Dr, Chicago IL 60640) on June 11th! The weather forecast looks fantastic, and we couldn't be more excited! As we plan and prepare, 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 6 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!
Reminder of Full Moon Jams Policies:
- This is a Family-Friendly, sober event
- Leave No Trace (help us clean up)
- Be Respectful and Inclusive
- No alcohol or illegal substances
- No flash photography
- No open flames, Tiki torches, floating lanterns, or fireworks
- No glass, weapons, lasers, or drones
- No bright lights or amplified sound over 90 decibels
- Protect The Community! Protect The Jams!
If you see anyone not adhering to these policies or creating any kind of disturbance, please find an event organizer (by the south end of the Jam) and let us know so we can help out. You can also look for Event Guardians walking around in reflective vests if you have any questions or concerns.
We want to thank everyone in the community for their help, and we look forward to another fantastic Jam season!
