Apply the RV sticker to the upper part of the driver’s side of your windshield before you approach the festival site so that festival staff can direct you appropriately. Do not attempt to remove the sticker from your windshield at any point. They are tamper-proof and any damaged stickers will need to be replaced for a fee at the Box Office.

If you have not received your pre-purchased RV pass, please contact Front Gate Customer Service.

Wristbands

  • Wristbands are for 3-day festival ticket holders only. Your wristband will be scanned at the entrances to the campgrounds and venue.
  • Don’t put it on until you get to the festival.  As you arrive, make sure that everyone in your vehicle has their wristband on their wrist and ready to show the festival staff. Make sure it is not too tight or too loose.  Follow these instructions for best results:
  • Grab your registered wristband. Place it on your RIGHT wrist. DO NOT tighten yet.
  • Place only two fingers between the band and your wrist. Ask your event buddy to help you tighten the wristband to a comfortable position.
  • Your event buddy will grip the tail while holding the plastic body. Slowly pull the cloth through the wristband’s lock to tighten, ensuring that it is securely fastened. It is a one-way locking mechanism.
  • If your wristband is unwearable (damaged, pulled too tight, etc.), bring the wristband with you and to the Box Office when you arrive. They will issue you a replacement wristband and deactivate your old one.
  • If you have not received your pre-purchased wristband in the mail, please contact Front Gate Customer Service. (note: the cut-off period for mailing wristbands ends about 2 weeks prior to the festival).

Karma Wash

We’re dusting off our rainbow fluffers … Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm and support from our fans, we are elated to share with you that Rainbow’s Be-rushless Karma Wash is coming out of retirement to join the Jam. Due to your messaging, sharing of stories and photos, you’ve conveyed to us that you see the Karma Wash as an institution in the world of festivals. We are tickled pink! (or should that be rainbow??)

Our establishment is evocative of a funkified car wash, staffed by a crew of playful pranksters. Participants that embark upon the adventure are immersed in bubbles and fluffed with rainbows: they can then choose from our many unique services such as a chakra shine, a free spot rinse, hot wax, or being “simonized”. After being fluffed, spun, and rinsed, folks filter back into the festival leaving bad vibes behind and radiating with a sparkling clean karma. After so many testimonials, we know it really works!

Hula Hoop Workshops

Miss 360 will lead Hula Hoop Workshops Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Learn some moves, get a hoop and take it to the field!

Hemp Village

We’re proud to announce the addition of Hemp Village with products, wellness vendors & educational panels featuring industry experts!

Mountain Jam will elevate the fan experience with the addition of a Hemp Village. The Hemp Village will include vendors & hemp panels over the weekend, covering a range of topics currently being tackled in the industry, as well as a look into the future as legislation and legalization continues to evolve.

We value community and leadership supporting creative experiences, education and empowerment of female leaders in the cannabis industry. WCC also supports all types of social justice and creative endeavors of the arts and sciences.

As cannabis legalization and decriminalization progresses state by state, those motivated to succeed and shape the industry in the long run must consider the long history of activism that has come before them. In this panel, we will hear from some of the people working and educating at the frontlines to ensure cannabis’s steady development stays true to its roots while the plant integrates into the fabric of the current cultural landscape. You’ll meet some of the creatives responsible for developing products, policies, and technologies in the cannabis space.
