A Few Festival Reminders
The festival is held on a rural farm and Cell Phones will not work. There is no Wi-Fi or wireless service available.
Please bring your own chairs, blankets or sun canopies and sit where you like. There is no reserved seating available. We do have large tents set up for shade near each stage.
Be sure to bring sunscreen, swimsuits, bug spray, flashlights (farm is dark at night), a hat, shades, rain gear, eats and drinks, if you like or you can eat from the multiple food and drink vendors on-site.
Festival Rules
We try not to have too many rules. (We are a bunch of hippies, after all.) But we do have some rules that are designed to weed out uncool folks and minimize the chances of anyone getting hurt.
- No pets. Sorry, we do not allow pets. If you need a place for your pets to stay during the weekend, there is a really nice boarding kennel close to the festival. Call Copyright Pet Resort to make your reservations at 931-528-8007.
- No fires directly burning on the ground or digging holes! Contained cook fires such as hibachis, grills or propane cook stoves are okay. Bring a fire extinguisher, and keep it handy. Please don't dig holes, the horses use the fields when the festival is not going on.
- NO GLASS ALLOWED cause Dick hits it with the tractor and almost put an eye out... plus it is dangerous and heavy for our crew to remove.
- Use garbage and recycling bins as marked, and help us keep the farm clean. Remember, we use the farm for the grand-kids, dogs and horses to play and graze throughout the year. Dispose of anything that might make the kids or animals sick such as cigarette butts, instrument strings, plastic bags, paper, etc. Be sure your area is clean before leaving.
- Please don't throw cigarette butts on the ground. It's not good for the horses or grand-kids. Plus it hurts Hippie's back to pick these up after the festival is over.
- This is a family-friendly event! Alcohol is permitted, but we ask everyone to be discrete and considerate of others in every respect. Remember, NO GLASS IS ALLOWED! Under-age drinking will not be tolerated.
- No motorized vehicles (golf carts, ATVs, etc) are allowed into the festival.
- Please note that no one under the age of 18 can camp or attend without an adult chaperone.
- You must wear wristbands at all times. If you don't have a wristband on you will have to purchase another.
Festival Food
You don't have to pack in or cook all your food during the festival. We always line up some excellent food vendors all weekend.




The TV series, Jammin at Hippie Jack's, started airing in 2007 on WCTE, our local PBS affiliate in Middle Tennessee. In 2009, the series began distribution through NETA and made available to every PBS station in the country. Our national audience includes almost 40% of the country including over 112 million people in 22 states. Check out our current season
At first we recorded our TV shows without an audience. We had the stage, and the musicians did their part. But we missed the fun and energy of a live audience. Hippie suggested a music festival here on the farm and the rest is history. Great Americana music. Friendly people. Family atmosphere. Beautiful countryside. Come on, be a hippie for a weekend.
