What Else is Goin'
On?
While you are making your way from one stage to another, be sure to check
out the craft tables available for purchase. From artisans' jewelry to
do-it-yourself hats, festivalgoers will find a colorful keepsake as a
reminder of their experience at Jam. You'll find extreme games such as
Orbitron, and the Rock Climbing Wall "extreme"ly entertaining.
The Independence Blue Cross Junior Jam for kids is their own little mini-Jam
featuring children's crafts, games and other cool things to keep them
busy.
How Much Am I Shellin'?
Think about it. When was the last time you shelled out $10 (Jam advance
ticket price) or $15 (Jam ticket price at the gate) for a concert? Probably
10 - 15 years ago! And if you did pay that, you probably only saw one
performer. Jam on the River gives you a full days worth of music and then
some! If you are bringing kids, their tickets are only $5 per child (ages
2-12; babies are free!) Advance tickets are available by calling 215.922.2FUN
