Dam Jam Music Festival - NEW DATE!

The Dam Jam Music Festival returns August 28–29 to the newly transformed Fish Ladder Music Park in Old Town Lansing — back to the space where the festival first showcased the power of live music, in-the-round of this iconic space.

Now reimagined, the park sets the stage for an unforgettable two-day celebration of sound, community, and Michigan pride. Featuring an all-Michigan lineup of homegrown talent, the Dam Jam showcases the depth and diversity of artists from across the state — spanning genres, styles, and voices that define Michigan’s music scene.

Set against the unique backdrop of the Brenke Fish Ladder, audiences can expect an immersive festival experience with live music, food trucks, and a vibrant atmosphere along the river. Join us as we kick off a new era for Fish Ladder Music Park — where it all began, and where it begins again.

The event is free but registration is required. We'll see you there!
