Gem and Jam Festival 2017 and Parking Maps & Weather

There is parking available at the venue in case you’re not camping, but be sure to bring cash as it will cost you. The weekend weather looks extremely cooperative for this rain or shine event. Mid 70’s all weekend with some cloud coverage and 0% precipitation should keep us in a fairly comfortable clothes all weekend.


Reminder To Mind Your Belongings

Unfortunately, many people have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses and other valuables during this festival season. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, there are opportunistic people who come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting party goers and it’s important to be mindful of your valuables while at Gem and Jam Festival.

Pay attention to who’s around you and what’s going on around you. Keep your wallet and phone in your front pocket(s) if you can. Treat your phone the same way you would treat cash; don’t set it down on a table or bar and look away. If a friend isn’t standing behind you in a crowd, be careful of your backpack or purse, and don’t put valuables in a pocket that could easily be unzipped by someone behind in a crowded spot without you realizing.

Festivals, in general, are a very densely populated place and are a well-known place where pick-pocketing of unsuspecting people occurs. It’s easy to find yourself in a crowded environment in a line, at a stage in the festival, elevator, or even out on the street where someone could slip your wallet or phone our of your pocket or bag in a matter of seconds. Stay alert, be careful, and make sure to not carry more than what you need!

    Hello! This is my first time attending Gem & Jam and I am taking part in the walk in camping, if anyone could please help me out with how the security is for camping & the guidelines. do they search my camping gear? will I be told to unravel my neatly folded blankets for search? also can I bring open snacks like packed sandwhiches? thank you so much for anyone who takes time to reply I need to know ASAP
    sending love!

      I am under the impression that yes, your camping gear will be searched. We are not sure how complete the search is, but be prepared for them to look in everything. Open food should be fine, check the event page on Facebook as many people will probably be giving others a heads up on how security is.
