The SamJam Bluegrass Festival is a five-day event in the days leading up to Labor Day in Piketon, Ohio. The festival features the most recognizable names in bluegrass music. SamJam also includes a youth music camp, the Pinecastle Records National Band Competition and a cornhole tournament, among other features.
The SamJam Hop kicks off the 2023 festival on Wednesday, August 30 with fans getting a taste of southern Ohio at local music venues before the festival shifts to the Pike County Fairgrounds, a picturesque setting in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains with accommodations for more than 300 electric and water hookups for campers.
