There’s a certain kind of magic to a desert music festival done right, good bands, good people, and just enough dust in the air to make it feel authentic. The 19th Annual Beaver Dam Jam brings that energy back to Beaver Dam Station & Bar in Littlefield, Arizona, May 1–3, 2026, with free admission, live music all weekend, and a Thursday pre-party to kick things off early.
Things get rolling Thursday from 6–8 PM with Wheezin’ Geezers setting the tone. Friday picks up at 3:30 PM with KimmeeB and 3D, followed by Meinfield at 5:15 PM, Dude Beky at 7:30 PM, and Groundskeeper from 9–10:15 PM to keep the outdoor stage active and the crowd moving. Black Mountain Band closes out the night on the inside stage from 10 PM to midnight.
Saturday is stacked from start to finish, beginning with Crossroads at 1 PM, Dillon Jones Band (inside) at 2 PM, and Shelby Cunningham & Friends at 3:30 PM. Distortion hits at 4 PM, Fall Out at 6:30 PM, and Rolling Joe and the Tumbleweeds carry the evening from 8:15–10:15 PM, with The Groundskeeper returning from 10 PM to midnight on the inside stage.
Sunday rounds things out with a community feel, including Dick Earl and the Electric Witness at 11:30 AM, an Open Mic Jam with Shelby Cunningham from noon–4 PM inside, Ed Tracey Band at 1:30 PM, and Runaway Fire from 4–6 PM.
Beyond the music, vendors are invited to participate for $100 for the weekend. For details, call 928-347-5589 or 928-347-5492. Festivalgoers can take advantage of free parking and camping, though outside coolers should be left at home or at camp.
For a little extra fun, lawnmower races sponsored by the Beaver Dam Food Bank add a uniquely local twist from 11 AM–2 PM at the Beaver Dam Race Track, located on Pioneer Road behind the festival.
