Halfway Jam
Halfway Jam was a 1980s music festival in Royalton, Minnesota that takes place generally in the later part of July until more recently with newer bands being added.
The Jam is now a 3-day event which draws 6-9K per night and allows on-site camping. Started as a Friday/Saturday event, Halfway added a 3rd day that was initially tribute bands, but started adding original acts in 2011.
The festival started in 2003 & drew around a thousand people until the promoters started booking the more name bands. There is a second stage that features local/tribute bands from the area that plays in between main stage acts.
