The Venue

Gem and Jam has historically been held at the Pima County Fairgrounds located just 20 miles South of downtown Tuscon, Arizona.  The desert environment is spread across 640 acres surrounded by nature, allowing plenty of space for art installations, multiple stages, and camping options (including car and RV camping). 

The Experience 

The 2020 Gem & Jam Festival will be expanding on its experience with world-class visuals, unique stage designs, artist galleries, live paintings, experiential installations, daytime workshops, gem and mineral vendors, and much more.

Beyond the Music

Gem and Jam festival is not just about the music.  It takes place during the annual Tuscon Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase, which attracts over 55,000 gem lovers to the Tuscon area over a 3-week period. 

In addition to the Gem and Mineral show, the festival will showcase art installations and performances, workshops, lectures, and many forms of artistic entertainment.  Additionally, expect several delicious options from the on-site food and beverage vendors.
