Speaking on the 2022 edition of Gem & Jam, Billboard stated, “Gem & Jam’s intimate footprint (three outdoor stages, an indoor space, a row of food and craft vendors and areas for live artists and workshops) made it possible to explore every nook and corner of the site, much of which was decorated with a gem theme…With 6,000 attendees … this was the biggest iteration of the festival to date. Still, the vibe was homey and homespun.” 

Located on 640 acres and just 20 miles south of downtown Tucson, the Pima County Fairgrounds is surrounded by nature and resides in a stunning desert environment, creating an expansive and magical setting perfect for Gem and Jam Festival. Similar to years past, Gem and Jam will offer on site camping, RV passes, glamping options, late night music, daytime workshops, delicious food & drink, a world renowned vendor bazaar, and of course, around the clock music and art. 

Glamping options are not included with ticket admission and are available for purchase separately via the Gem & Jam website. Reserved in a shaded campsite on grass, each luxury tent sleeps two comfortably and comes inclusive with an inflatable mattress, bedding, furniture, space heater, and electricity.
