    Mnt. jam1

    It is that time of year again. Hard to believe the holiday season is underway, but it also means Mountain Jam 2014 pre-sale tickets are available beginning Tuesday, November 19,th at 10 am and run through Friday November 22nd.  Pre-sale tickets to Mountain Jam sell out every year; don’t hesitate on getting your favorite guy or gal a pass as a present.

    According to Mountain Jam, the tenth anniversary will be “THE festival not to miss in 2014,” boasting a line-up announcement set for January that appears to be impressive.

    Following up with last year’s changes, Mountain Jam has tweaked a few things.  There are now multiple car side camping options available.  The VIP is no longer known as VIP but rather, ‘Jammer’, and there will be multiple levels of ‘Jammer’ passes.  RV options have grown and Mountain Jam will also provide free continuous shuttles to and from off-site parking lots.

    Festivarians, on your mark, get set…GO! Mountain Jam returns to Hunter Mountain June 5 – 8, 2014. Click HERE to order tickets.
