Big Spring Jam is a storied festival rooted in Huntsville, Alabama, historically held at Big Spring International Park in downtown Huntsville. The event was a multi-stage, multi-genre gathering featuring country, Christian contemporary, and rock across four or more stages. Organized as a not-for-profit by the Huntsville Heritage Foundation with involvement from the Von Braun Center, the festival aimed to raise funds for local charities and arts/human services programs. It drew huge crowds, with attendance reported at as many as 240,000 in 2003 and about 30,000 at the 2011 revival. While weather and scheduling challenges led to cancellations in 2005, 2006, and a 2010 cancellation, the 2011 revival was scaled down yet retained the festival’s community spirit. Past headliners included Wynonna, Switchfoot, Live, Jewel, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and George Clinton, among others. As of 2025, there are no active Big Spring Jam dates announced. The venue and city continue to host vibrant music initiatives, including Huntsville Music Month activities like LAUNCHPAD at the Von Braun Center.
