About June Lake Jam Festival
Since its debut in 2015, The June Lake Jam Fest (JLJF) – located in the stunning and picturesque mountain town of June Lake, CA – has earned a stellar reputation among jam band music fans for one single word: “Quality”. Quality bands. Quality sound. Quality production. And an overall high quality experience that includes a lakeside stage, camping, boating, hiking, fishing, biking, dining and more. Past lineups have included such acts as Melvin Seals & JGB, Moonalice, Cubensis, GrooveSession, Mother Hips, Dead Winter Carpenters, and The Higgs among others.
Now, in the age of COVID-19, the production team is staging a FREE virtual event – the June Lake Jam Fest 6 – “Safe at Home” Edition – with the same high quality music and production that has become synonymous with this festival, featuring renowned regional and national touring musical acts.
Born as the brainchild of June Lake local Janet Hunt, the festival began with the desire to raise needed funds for the Mono Arts Council (MAC), which provides arts education and advocacy programs for local youth. Six years later, the JLJF continues to provide a rich musical event to Mono County for visitors and locals alike with a unique festival experience that is focused on the celebration of closeness and community. Funds raised by the Jam Fest enables the MAC to offer music and art programs in schools, in after school prorgams and in summer camps.
