Big Spring Jam

About Big Spring Jam

Big Spring Jam is an annual three-day music festival taking place in Huntsville, Alabama. The Jam, which began in 1993, typically takes place the fourth weekend in September, beginning Friday and ending Sunday. It features acts from all genres of music including local bands, emerging talent, old favorites, and the top artists of the day. Along with the music, the Big Spring Jam also holds an annual 5k race.

The title of the festival is a matter of confusion for many, especially those outside Huntsville, as the Big Spring Jam takes place early each autumn. The title, however, comes from the location, Big Spring International Park in downtown Huntsville.

Big Spring Jam usually features four or more temporary stages set up throughout the park. Each stage typically features the same genres of music throughout the weekend. One stage features country music exclusively, another features Christian contemporary, and the remainder of the stages are rock-based.
