12/18/2022 0 Comments Jibber jazz festival![]() ![]() ![]() It warmed up a bit after Friday night but was a very fair weathered festival for April. Although the weather was a bit chilly, it didn’t stop anyone from dancing (or hooping!) their hearts out. There was also a DJ igloo that was crafted by a clever camper, providing a spot to hang out in for a bit, smoke hookah in, and dance to avoid the wind for a bit. There were also three additional stages, one a pavilion/ indoor stage, a ‘madness stage’, and an outdoor campground stage. Its large wooden half shell shape helps rise performers up and push music out into the crowd. The main stage was only built two years ago and provides a beautiful wooden centerpiece for the space. The facilities at Some Kind of Jam were also wonderful. The food was also great- one vendor even had unique yet surprisingly affordable seafood- like crab cake omlettes! Raving about their meals, checking out the food was one of the first things those already set up directed me to do after entering the grounds. From imports directly from Africa to handmade jewelry and clothing, there was something here for everyone. ![]() Booths colorfully lined the grounds in two different areas of the venue. There was a great variety of vendors at SKOJ. Children were also ubiquitous at the festival, which I always think is such a treat, adding to the family feel and bringing a new spirit to the event. ![]() Everyone there seemed to have a constant smile and cheerful demeanor as festie family excitedly reunited with each other, and new friends greeted with hugs and warm introductions. Some Kind of Jam felt like a family reunion. Canvas and art supplies were provided for collaborative pieces, creating a communal art hub. An ‘Art Jam’ booth encouraged folks to paint and express themselves. Consider the Source was my personal favorite musical act- they have so much drive to their music and have the ability to keep the high energy of their set through the duration of their performance. Music headliners like Consider the Source, Particle, and the Motet drew in guests from all over the greater Pennsylvania area. (Literally jam packed- SKOJ provided a delicious line up of music, workshops and art for the duration of the festival.) They were host to musical variety that spanned from funk to Jam, and Bluegrass to Reggae. Those who arrived after had a jam-packed weekend of music and activities. Though April weather provided a chilly setting, it didn’t stop attendees from a night of fun! As soon as you entered the event you were greeted by energetic and accommodating staff, who gave you as much information as possible to prepare yourself for a wild weekend.Įarly Birds that had the chance to arrive Thursday evening were treated to musical acts like Carbon Mirage, The Hair Cut, and Uncle Jake. There was car camping spread throughout the venue allowing a grand variety of space selection to set up camp. Hosting over 30 musical acts on 4 different stages, with yoga, art and activities, workshops, fire performances and parades, this Springtime event is not one to miss! The festival grounds were tucked away and surrounded by woods giving the space a very intimate feel, another one of Pennsylvania’s hidden treasures. Some kind of Jam 10 was a JibberJazz festival held in Schuylkill Haven, PA. ![]()
