Beaver Dam Swap Meet
Also, this year, as a prelude to the Beaver Dam Jam Street Festival and to help everyone shake off the COVID cobwebs, we’re introducing the Beaver Dam Swap Meet on Saturday and Sunday, April 10th and 11th, 2021.

The Beaver Dam Jam Kicks Off This Coming Weekend!
At the Beaver Dam Station and Bar

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 7, 8, and 9, 2021

Driving by the Beaver Dam Station and Bar, you might not think to stop if you don’t live in Beaver Dam, Arizona, but you’ll be missing a lot if you don’t!

Here you will find the center of the Beaver Dam Community, the heart.  Beaver Dam Station and Bar has been operating in Beaver Dam, Arizona, for over 40 years.  It serves as the local grocery store and Beaver Dam Bar next door, as a local gathering place where lifetime friendships are formed.  Owned and operated by Bill Evans since 1979, its doors are open to all.  Bill has held annual dinners for Thanksgiving and Christmas at no cost to patrons.  These are in addition to the many barbeques and potluck dinners (Bill provides the main dishes) held for birthdays, Halloween, other holidays such as Memorial Day and Fourth of July, and for celebrations of life when friends and loved ones have passed.

The Beaver Dam Jam is approaching!

The annual event that folks from St. George to Mesquite and beyond have anticipated and enjoyed for 14 years (except for 2020 due to COVID) is just around the corner! The Beaver Dam Jam is a 3-day musical festival features local and regional bands, on multiple stages, coming from as far away as Oklahoma and California to Nevada and Utah, showcasing all different genres (country, rock-n-roll, reggae, folk).

For 2021, the Beaver Dam Jam will be slightly different.  The Beaver Dam Jam Street Festival will be held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 7, 8, and 9, 2021.  In addition to the bands’ festival, there will be artisans and other vendors displaying and selling their unique wares.  Food, drinks, and other goodies will be available, including the Best Beaver Burger Ever! (no, it is hamburger) at the Red Wagon Eats, the newest addition at the Beaver Dam Station and Bar.  The music festival starts at 2 PM on Friday and at noon Saturday and Sunday.  Vendors will be setting up and selling as early as 10 AM on all three days so we hope to see you there!

Are you looking for some more fun?  You will find it at the monthly lawnmower races (the first Saturday of each month starting at 10 AM Arizona time, and joining in for karaoke four nights a week, Wednesday through Saturday, beginning at 5 PM at the Beaver Dam Bar.

We’ll see ya in Beaver Dam!
