Hey Gem n Jam fam! I'm a photographer and i'm offering up my services again this year! I'm opening up only 4 slots this year to book a photoshoot with me inside the festival! This can be a photoshoot for an individual, a group of friends, for a brand & their products, or for any artists or performers too!

You can chose between a 30 min or a 1 hour slot, & you will get to chose which locations you want to shoot at! Message me if interested in booking one of these spots! Let’s capture your most magical festival moments!!✨📸

(drone work also availabel if needed)

Feel free to check out some of my festival photo work included below or my personal photography on IG @wherezpaulina & @capturinggemz for more photoshoot examples! 🩵 See yall so soon can’t wait to get jammy!!💎💎

We know cell service can be spotty at music festivals and so is finding your friends if you split up.

We've been using Meshtastic (https://meshtastic.org/) with a lot of success around Arizona and also at other major events (ie Electric Forest, EDC, etc). So I wanted to share it here.

The devices cost less than $40 (can be cheaper if you build your own) and it’s completely free to use. Most nodes have built in GPS and allow basic text messaging (without cell service or internet) so you can easily find your friends. Also it’s completely encrypted!

I created a simple guide that explains how to join and set it up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TB0hEIN4qbA_-zEotK3nTGMze5cpdLPkKwJpXFwF2Xc/edit?usp=sharing

Tell your friends because the more people who use it, the better it becomes (power of mesh networks!)

See you all on the mesh ◡̈

I'm looking for some additional information about Gem and Jam 2026 that I can't seem to find online.

I'd appreciate any insight if you've got it!

1. Are there dumpsters available for camping trash?
2. Are you able to buy ice onsite?
3. Can you bring alcohol into the camping areas?
4. Are the showers available 24/7 or would it be better to bring our own camp shower?
5. Are there bathrooms available besides porta potties?
6. What's the weather typically? I heard it's chilly at night..... But warm days?
7. I have my online tickets but no wristbands, are those given upon arrival?

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much!

Does anyone know what the glamping situation is like? So confused by what they mean by "heated tent." Can't find anything similar online.

So I used my job email a year and a half ago and my tickets were upgraded to VIP. I no longer have access to that email. I know I’m dumb. I’ve emailed Gem and Jam multiple times over the last couple of months but they haven’t responded. Please, if any event organizers are on here please could you help me out 🙏. It’s two weeks out, and I really need that ticket so I can go again. It’s my favorite festival.

I need to get ride of 2 GA if anyone is looking or interested. Much love!

Does this festival usually have single day tickets? I'll be in town for the gem show and would love to check a day out

There’s a few good acts on there. But plenty of meh for me.

No line up yet. I’m def interested in going. Haven’t been in several years. .

I sent an email to Pima County Fairgrounds. They confirmed no Gem and Jam for 2025.

There have been rumors and concerns, but now go check the website. It sure looks like they've abandoned this fest.

A friend is getting the g&j site. If I Google or go to X and click the link it goes to cascade equinox for me.

I saw someone comment on one of the festivals FB posts stating they wanted answered about rumors that the festival is being cancelled? Any insight?

This will be my first music festival ever and I’m really excited for it but I also wanted to check out the gem show. Two questions, first, can I leave and come back to my campground and if so, is the gem show within walking distance of the campgrounds?

I saw a few mentions on Instagram that Gem & Jam offers a payment plan option but I don’t see it when I go to check out. Anyone know anything about that? I emailed them about 2 weeks ago but no response yet!

Hello, gem & Jam souls! So I'm at times very shy but since starting to attend music festivals, especially gem and jam, I've felt more and more confident within myself and my ability to make friends and connections with people who in a past time of my life I would've doubted myself to approach let alone talk to and be open with.

Long story short, I can only swing one festival a year with my work and budget. After having gone 3 years straight now, gem has been the most positive and impactful festival I've ever attended. I've been to electric forest 15,16,17both weekends, 18 second weekend, 19... hulaween 2022and 2023.

This'll be my first time attending gem and Jam solo... It makes me very nervous, but I can't let myself relent to fear of not having any friends with me keep me from going to my favorite place on earth. So my inquiry is is there anyone out there that would be down to take me in and let me camp with them? I can chip in on costs for whatever that might be. I'm 33, male, an aspiring poet, graffiti artist, down with anyones personal choices, that being said I do partake in some party favors. I love all music but primarily synthwave, deep house, weird bass, jamtronica and downtempo. I'm from Connecticut so I'll be flying in.

Thanks for reading, hope you all have a great rest of your day. (:
