The event we once called Junior Jam has grown up and has now evolved into a much bigger event encompassing the entire family simply called The Jam and it all goes down this Sunday starting at 12:00 PM in Fort Collins.

The Jam is a unique and extremely exciting event just for our 13-18 year old kids. The Jam this year will be held outside the Northside Aztlan Community Center (112 Willow St.) in Fort Collins.

This is a Northern Colorado music and extreme sports event featuring: home-grown bands, BMX bike demos, skateboard demos, food trucks, festival vendors, henna tattoo artists, rock climbing walls and so much more.

One of the highlights of the day will be our "Battle of the Bands" competition that will be held on the Western Nebraska Community College main stage with $2000 in cash up for grabs!

  • First Place: $1,000 cash + band launch services
  • Second Place: $500 cash
  • Third Place: $250 cash
  • Fourth Place: $250 cash

It's The Jam this Sunday in Fort Collins.  If you have kids you don't want to miss it and there is even a nice relaxing "Chill Zone" for us parents sponsored by Gelazzi - Fort Collins' Gelatto Cafe.
