With more people expected at this year’s Deadwood Jam, we’ve had to make some adjustments to help keep everyone safe, comfortable, and able to enjoy the full two days of music and fun! 🎶

We understand that changes can be disappointing, especially when the Deadwood Jam is a tradition for so many of you. We truly appreciate the passion, enthusiasm, and love you have for this festival.. that’s what makes the Deadwood Jam so special. 💙 Please take a moment to review the chair policy clarification in the graphic below!

‼️ We do want to emphasize there will be Screen #2 down on Main St near Lee Street, where chairs can be placed: Friday @ 4:00PM & Saturday @ 10:00AM ‼️ Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we make these adjustments. Now... let's get ready to JAM! 🤘

🎶 A little heads-up from the Jam… 🎶 We’re expecting quite a few music lovers attending this year and with a lineup this totally pluckin’, rockin’ & harmonizin’, we can’t say we’re surprised! To help us make room for the good times, please plan accordingly:

Friday, Sept. 18: No chairs will be available/allowed in Outlaw Square & surrounding side streets.
Saturday, Sept. 19: A limited number of chair space will be available inside Outlaw Square starting at 11am. Chairs can be placed on surrounding side streets as well.

ADA seating will still be available for both days.

We know a chair is a mighty fine festival companion, so we appreciate your patience, understanding, and willingness to go with the flow as we welcome the biggest crowd possible to Outlaw Square in HISTORIC DEADWOOD! 🌲🤠 See you soon under the Wild West sky!
