About LogJam

The Escanaba LogJam Music Festival is a free event for the community, celebrating Escanaba’s timber and rich music history. Sponsored by Highline Internet and DTE Foundation, the event is organized by the Escanaba Downtown Development Authority with the mission of supporting community events to promote economic growth.

Art and craft vendors will also be on display at the event.
