About Jam in the Valley
Jam in the Valley began as a beloved country festival at Buffalo Hill Village Campgrounds in Varysburg, NY, and evolved into Jam in the Woods at The Woods at Bear Creek in Franklinville, NY. This venue guide covers what to expect when attending: seating options, parking and on-site camping, transportation tips, and nearby lodging and dining. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth trip around this iconic July event in Western New York.
Note: The original festival operated at Buffalo Hill Village from the 2000s through 2019. The 2020 edition did not return, and the Jam in the Valley brand retired. The rebranded event, Jam in the Woods, now takes place at The Woods at Bear Creek, featuring a more outdoor, camping-centric experience with Independence Day-style programming and fireworks in a sprawling 750-acre setting.
