BlackBerry Jam 2026

JUST ANNOUNCED - OPENING CEREMONY with Youssoupha Sibide, August 14th, 5 pm.

We’re back for another year of African & Caribbean music and culture.
THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS EVENT.
This is a not-for-profit initiative. That means 100% of the ticket revenue is going to the artists. 
This is a community endeavor and no one but artists are making money from the event. It is volunteer driven and possible through the generosity of community and the hosts, who believe that bringing culture and opportunities for diverse artists is essential in this time.
We thank you for your support.
NOTE: IF FINANCES ARE DIFFICULT at this time but you wish to attend, PLEASE REACH OUT FOR DISCOUNT CODES. We want no one left behind. <3

Located on a rustic, historic farm perched on a mountain and set against wilderness just outside of Everson WA, The Blackberry Jam is back for its 5th year of music and cultural celebration. This event focuses on high quality music without the chaos and crowds of larger events. The setting is beautiful, comfortable and safe with lots of natural features to encourage connection to the land (including lava tubes and a grotto in the creek on the land) and camping available for overnighters. We are located just 1.5 hours from Vancouver BC, 1.5 hours from North Seattle and 20 minutes northeast of Bellingham WA.
This event is about community, connection and culture, and we are pleased to be back again for another year. 
We look forward to seeing you here.

Camping is a single cost per vehicle for up to 4 people - whether thats RV, car or tent camping. 
We love us the dogs, but unfortunately this is a dog-free event.
Children under 12 are free but require parental supervision. 
Tickets ARE limited and we are aiming for a sell out, so don't wait. :)
