Please see the Concert Crawl page for the latest schedule. The event is now nine venues with 41 bands, playing throughout Macon. More all-ages and non-smoking venues remain than ever before, featured on the interactive Concert Crawl web page, which also includes the option to sample the music before the show.
Printed Concert Crawl schedules will be available at each venue during the event. BraggJam.org will also have a downloadable, printable schedule available later this week.
The Hilton Garden Inn is the official hotel for Bragg Jam, offering a discounted rate through its reservation page found via the Macon page. Ocmulgee Expeditions and the College Hill Corridor have partnered to offer free shuttle service from the hotel to downtown’s trolley stop at Third Street Park. Francar’s Wings is also extending their restaurant hours the night of the Concert Crawl to accept late night food orders, available for hotel delivery.
Bragg Jam’s Concert Crawl will take place, rain or shine. On Cherry Street in downtown Macon, the open container regulations will be the same as Macon’s First Friday. Two trolleys are routed to venues outside of downtown. The trolleys pick up and drop off at the Third Street Park stage at the intersection of Cherry and Third. One trolley is routed to the Shamrock and back. The other is routed to Rivalry’s on Northside and the Mellow Mushroom and back. The trolley rides are free for those with Bragg Jam armbands, which are $20 and can be purchased at any of Bragg Jam’s nine venues after 5 p.m. on July 31 (no pre-sale tickets).
Inspired by late musicians and brothers Brax and Tate Bragg and operated as a 501c3 under a volunteer board of directors, the Bragg Jam Festival has contributed over $110,00 of its net proceeds to the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail. Since 1999, Bragg Jam has evolved from an impromptu jam session to citywide music festival to a full-scale arts festival and Macon’s premier music event.
Proceeds from Bragg Jam Festival 2010 will be donated to the expansion of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail in memory of Brax and Tate Bragg.
