The experience
What's special
Jam in the Streets is the flagship annual event of Jam For Cam, a 501(c)(3) founded in the fall of 2018 in honor of University of Georgia student Cameron Fearon, who died of melanoma at 19. It is a music festival in the streets of Downtown Athens, Georgia, that raises money and awareness for melanoma research, prevention and early detection. Jam In The Streets 2026 drew more than 30,000 attendees and raised over $1,200,000, up from more than 15,000 attendees and over $520,000 in 2025, the first year in the streets after the previous venue closed.
How it works
Jam In The Streets 2027 is announced for 1 to 3 April 2027 in Downtown Athens, Georgia. The festival offers skin check booking as part of its melanoma awareness program, and sponsorships are handled as tax-deductible donations.

Getting there
How do I get to Jam in the Streets?
Jam in the Streets is held in the streets of downtown Athens, so the first decision is where to leave the car. Athens-Clarke County has several public parking decks in the downtown core, including decks on College Avenue and West Washington Street, and ACC Transit buses are fare free for anyone who would rather park out and ride in. Check ACC Transit's service notices for detours before relying on a route. Visitors coming from Atlanta or the airport will find shuttle and driving options below.
Nearest airport AHN.
By car
The nearest major airport is AHN, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
Cost College Avenue Deck and Washington Street Deck: first hour free, then $2.00/hour (Downtown Athens Parking's own published rate); on-street metered parking is $3.00/hour, enforced Mon-Sat 8am-10pm. Organizers and county tourism coverage explicitly recommend walking, biking, or rideshare over driving, given the street closure and limited downtown parking supply. Downtown Athens Parking's own two public decks (College Avenue Deck and Washington Street Deck, the latter literally on the festival street) are the nearest paid options; no prepay app or platform is named by the festival, so you pay on exit at the deck.
