Here's a review of last year's fest by Bill Thames on the Hoopee Jam web site:
"The tranquil Little Ohoopee River meanders slowly through the picturesque middle Georgia farm of Renee Wilson, and her daughter Bess. The Hoopee Jam takes its name from an abbreviated version of the river, spoken in local Georgia dialect. The Wilson farm, with spacious grassy lawns, pinewoods, gentle stands of cypress, and towering sweet gums was the perfect site for a laid-back, eclectic, grassroots music festival.
"Normally quiet and idyllic, the Wilson farm became the epicenter of a new and exciting brand of revivalist southern rock for this jam-packed (no pun intended) weekend. The Hoopee Jam offered music fans acres of room in the main stage area to stretch out in comfort to listen to the music."
There are no hookups for RVs, primitive camping only, but you can bring in cars and RVs. There will be food and craft vendors.Weekend passes are $65 advance and $75 at the gate. Kids under six are admitted free. Bring your own beer and coolers, they have no beer vendors. Coolers are allowed in stage areas, no glass.
Road trip, y'all??
