The largest country music festival in the state of Colorado, and one of the longest running festivals in the U.S. won’t happen in 2026.

Country Jam Colorado announced Friday (Sept 26) it will be pausing next year, after 33 years.

“Country Jam Colorado will be pausing in 2026 as we take time to re-evaluate and plan for the future. We’re grateful to all the fans, artists, partners, and the entire Colorado community and beyond who have supported the festival and make it such a special event year after year,” the festival said in a statement.

Country Jam has been held at Jam Ranch in Mack, Colorado, near Grand Junction, about 260 miles west of Denver since 1992.
