ACTIVITIES
CaveJam • May 24-25, 2025
Beyond the music, guests can take cave tours—including both guided walking tours for everyone and adventure tours with helmets and knee pads—bring their own instruments to participate in an open cave jam. There will also be activities for kids, making CaveJam a destination festival for the whole family.
Introducing The Caverns Tavern + Our First-Ever Caverns Beer
Be Among the First to Enjoy The Caverns Limestone Lager — Only at CaveJam
We’re excited to share something new waiting for you at CaveJam: The Caverns Tavern. Located in the same building as our gift shop—you know, the one with the big salamander on it—this taproom will be open for the very first time during the festival. It’s a place for fans to meet up, unwind, browse unique merchandise and enjoy something cold before the music starts, or before or after a cave tour. Open Saturday & Sunday from 2–7p CT.
And waiting behind the bar? The debut of Caverns Limestone Filtered Lager, our first-ever Caverns beer, brewed in partnership with Manchester’s award-winning Common John Brewing Co.
Made with limestone aquifer-filtered water, this crisp, easy-drinking lager is a true Caverns creation. It will be available exclusively on draft at CaveJam, and only inside The Caverns Tavern.
After CaveJam, The Caverns Tavern will be open before every show, and Caverns Limestone Lager will also be available at all shows in cans later this year for guests to take home or back to their campsites.
So come early, raise a toast, and dig into something crisp, cold, and one-of-a-kind at The Caverns.
Go Even Deeper - Cave Tours at CaveJam
Guided Cave Tour - No trip to The Caverns is complete without taking a guided tour through Big Room Cave, an otherworldly passage completely separate from our underground concert hall. We recommend reserving your tour time in advance to ensure you don't miss out. At the festival, meet at the Info + Cave Tour Pick-Up tent in the campground at least 15 minutes before your tour time. Walk-ups welcome too!
Cave tours during the festival are only $15. Budget ~1hr from pick-up to drop-off for your cave tour experience. Offered daily 9a-5p CT
NEW FOR 2025 - CaveJam Adventure Tour - For guests who want a real caving experience with helmets, knee pads, head lamps, and gloves (we provide all the gear), we've created a new tour through tight passageways that lasts about 90-120 minutes. Advance reservations required. Offered at 10a and 1p CT
Tombstone Pass Adventure Tour - With a seasoned guide you'll navigate the challenging "Tombstone Pass" to discover an underground river, unique geological formations like “soda straws,” and thriving cave creatures. Offered at 8a and 1p CT
