The experience
What's special
June Lake Jam Fest is a small jam-band festival held each fall in the Eastern Sierra resort village of June Lake, California, at roughly 7,600 feet elevation. It spreads music through the village with a communal, DIY feel: vendors, volunteers and late-night jam sessions around town are as much a part of the draw as the billed lineup. The high-altitude mountain-weather setting shapes the experience as much as the music
What people love
Regulars -- many of whom return yearly as volunteers or vendors -- describe it as a favorite for its stacked jam-band lineups and tight-knit atmosphere, with late-night jams spilling across the village. Veterans advise booking lodging within walking distance and preparing for cold nights and thin mountain air
Last time around (2025)
Recent editions have been affected by regional wildfire smoke -- vendors and attendees described smoke that lingered into pack-up day -- yet still called it 'one heck of a time.' Cold, wet camping conditions were also noted, with veterans recommending a warm indoor base nearby and time to acclimate to the altitude

Getting there
Nearest airport MMH.
How do I get to June Lake Jam Fest?
By car
Most people drive to June Lake Jam Fest. The nearest major airport is MMH, 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
ESTA's $10 MMH Express Flyer covers MMH-to-Mammoth-Lakes; ESTA also runs the seasonal June Lake Loop route on to June Lake village, near the Gull Lake Park venue. Two-leg journey (Flyer + Loop route), not a single direct line
Book / info →Festival shuttle
Private shuttle operators (not officially festival- or venue-run) advertise MMH-to-June-Lake/June-Mountain transfers as a standard route
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Mammoth Taxi's shared/private SUV service is based around the Mammoth Lakes leg; a June Lake extension would be a custom/private-transfer request, not their advertised standard fare. Uber operates in the region per its own airport page, but driver density in this rural corridor is much lower than in a city
Book / info →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
Drop-off is available at the venue entrance before parking. Bike parking is provided at the festival gate
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at MMH
MMH has Enterprise and National counters; given how limited public transit/shuttle coverage is for the specific MMH-to-June-Lake leg, a rental car is the most reliable way for fly-in attendees to reach the festival and any of the Loop's outlying campgrounds

IMPORTANT: this is NOT on-site festival camping the festival's own current FAQ/Attend pages explicitly state there is no on-site camping at Gull Lake Park, and instead direct attendees to independently-run USFS and privately-owned campgrounds within the June Lake Loop, many within walking distance of the venue. Car camping is available at those nearby sites (e.g. June Lake Campground, Silver Lake Campground, Gull Lake Campground), reservable via recreation.gov (USFS, opens ~6 months ahead, typically March for a September festival) or directly with private operators
