Flin Flon’s Blueberry Jam
Blueberry Jam is a free, family-friendly music festival set in beautiful Flin Flon, Manitoba. Inspired by the spirit of the Tennents Musician Reunion, this is more than a festival—it’s a community.
Blueberry Jam welcomes musicians and music lovers of all ages. Set up a chair and listen all day, or bring your instrument and jam with other music makers.
Festival Guidelines
Our goal is simple: make sure everyone has a safe, happy, and memorable time at Blueberry Jam. These guidelines are just a reminder to look out for one another, and respect the space we share.
Be kind, be good. This is a community event. Arrive ready to have fun, make music, dance, and meet lots of great people. Leave your hate at the gate – better yet, don’t bring it at all.
Leave no trace. Use waste and recycling bins, and stick to marked trails to protect the natural surroundings (and avoid poison ivy!).
Wet your whistle. The entire festival site is licensed, so enjoy a beverage—but please pace yourself. This is a family-friendly event.
Enjoy the music! Especially in the Blueberry Wine Bar, please keep talking to a minimum during performances. Take phone conversations outside. No outside music on festival grounds.
Watch your butts. Smoking is permitted, but please use designated receptacles. Cigarette butts are a fire hazard and harmful to the environment.
Drones may be used with permission. Contact the Blueberry Jam festival in advance to discuss your plans.
These are a NO. Leave them at home, they do not belong at a music festival.
NO weapons. No knives, no machetes, no firearms, etc.
NO fireworks
NO laser pointers
NO illegal drugs
Wear shoes (yes, really!). Foot injuries are the most common festival mishap.
Thank you for respecting our people and our place. Now come enjoy the music at the Flin Flon Blueberry Jam!

Hey campers! Your vehicle will be issued a parking pass with your camping registration. The license plate number on the registration must match that of the vehicle entering the site. This parking pass will allow vehicles to access the camp site, but not the festival site.

Welcome to the Blueberry Patch!
The festival site, called the Blueberry Patch, is where the Main Stage is located, along with all the other amenities and services the festival offers. Festival site boundries are marked by orange snow fencing.
The Blueberry Wine Bar, our second musical venue, is located off the festival site at the Rotary Wheel. It is a short walk from the North Entrance of the Blueberry Patch.
SITE ENTRANCE
The Blueberry Patch can be accessed via two entrances. You will be issued a wristband at entry – please wear it while on the festival site.
The South Entrance is located on the campground lane just south of the Blueberry Jam Main Stage.
The North Entrance is located on the road leading to the Blueberry Wine Bar/Rotary Wheel venue.
Need a little help getting around? There are festival shuttles for folks who need a lift.
