Every great music festival has a story, and The Dam Jam is no exception. From its humble beginnings to becoming a must-attend summer tradition, our journey has been one of resilience, growth, and an unwavering commitment to bringing people together through the power of music.
Now, as we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to announce TWO major updates that will take the festival to the next level:
📅 Save the Dates: July 18-19, 2025—a week earlier than usual!
📍 New Home: The stunning Winfield Fairgrounds, with amenities that will make your festival experience unforgettable.
From Lake Party Beginnings to Festival Growth
The journey to our new home in Winfield has been filled with unforgettable moments and challenges that shaped The Dam Jam into what it is today:
2022 – El Dorado Lake: We kicked off with Kansas’ biggest lake party, a one-day event that brought together music lovers for an epic lakeside bash. Despite the success, post-COVID changes at state lakes made hosting future festivals there impossible.
2023 – Lake Afton: Our second year saw us move to a new location. Even though we faced severe weather, the show went on, and the event was a success. The Dam Jam spirit proved unshakable, rain or shine.
2024 – Goddard: When Sedgwick County chose not to renew our Lake Afton contract, we had to pivot quickly. The City of Goddard welcomed us with open arms, and together we transformed a bare field into a vibrant festival venue.
2025 – Winfield: Now, we’ve found our long-term home at the Winfield Fairgrounds. With its fantastic amenities and a welcoming community, this venue provides the perfect setting to grow and elevate The Dam Jam experience.
