The Uncle Sam Jam

Here is the updated and polished Uncle Sam Jam 2026 Schedule. I’ve tightened the timing to ensure a high-energy flow from the morning market to the grand finale.

Official Event Schedule: July 4, 2026

All-Day Features

• The Gaming Zone: Lawn games (Cornhole, Giant Jenga, and more) are available across the park from 2:00 PM until the fireworks begin.

• The Food Court: Local food trucks will be serving up 4th of July favorites starting at 2:00 PM.

• The Watering Hole: Official park bars open at 2:00 PM for all your cold beverage needs (Remember: No outside beverages allowed!).

Staff Note on Music & Vibe

• 3 PM - 6 PM (Deep Pockets): We are aiming for a "Cool & Communal" vibe. This is when families are getting settled, the sun is out, and the music is danceable but laid back.

• 7 PM - 10 PM (Conviction): We’re cranking it up! High-energy classic rock to build the hype leading directly into the fireworks display. Conviction will play through the fireworks for a synchronized rock-and-roll soundtrack.

Make Festival Park your own personal backyard for the 4th of July!

The Family Space is the premier way to experience the Uncle Sam Jam. Perfect for families, organizations, or a large group of friends, this reserved 10' x 10' "Home Base" gives you a guaranteed spot to relax, grill, and enjoy the festivities while having a dedicated home for your gear and guests.

What’s Included:

• Your Reserved 10' x 10' Plot: A designated grass or patio area for your group (maximum 10 guests).

• Complimentary Refreshments: Each of your 10 guests will receive an official event wristband and two (2) complimentary beverage coupons (valid for soda, water, or beer at the concession stands).

• The "Backyard" Experience: Unlike the general admission areas, Family Space holders are permitted to bring:

  • Grills: Electric or gas grills are welcome (please follow safety guidelines).

  • The Feast: Bring your favorite 4th of July picnic, snacks, and catering.

  • The Gear: Pop-up tents (10' x 10'), lawn chairs, tables, and blankets.

  • The Fun: Feel free to bring yard games like Cornhole or Ladder Toss to enjoy within your space.

The "Home Base" Rules:

• Beverage Policy: To support the park and event operations, no outside beverages are permitted (including soda and alcohol). However, you are welcome to bring as much factory-sealed water as your group needs! All other refreshments must be purchased at our official concession areas.

• Respect the Neighborhood: While your 10' x 10' plot is yours for the day, the areas outside your lines are shared spaces for all attendees. We ask all "Home Base" guests to help maintain our inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere.

• Wristbands Required: All 10 guests must wear their designated wristbands at all times to access the Family Space zone.
