About The Great Big Jamboree
The Great Big Jamboree is a family music and arts festival created for kids, parents, and music lovers of all ages to experience together.
Designed as a joyful, welcoming day outdoors, the festival brings together live music, hands-on art activities, and space to relax, explore, and play at your own pace. Whether families stay all day or drop in for a few favorite moments, the Jamboree is meant to feel easy, flexible, and full of connection.
Why We Created the Jamboree
We believe family festivals should work for everyone.
The Great Big Jamboree was created to fill a gap between high-energy concerts and overly kiddish kids events. This festival is designed so families can move naturally through the day, discovering music, creativity, and moments of rest when they need them.
There’s no pressure to see everything. No strict schedule to follow. Just a shared experience built around curiosity, creativity, and time together.
Music at the Heart of the Day
Live music anchors the Jamboree experience. The lineup blends nationally recognized family musicians with beloved local artists, offering a wide range of sounds and styles that appeal to both kids and adults.
Performances are designed to be enjoyed in many ways. Dance near the stage, listen from a blanket, or wander and take it in as you explore the festival grounds.
