Jampod Rules

Jampods are festival sanctioned places for attendees and guests to give impromptu performances, at any time (unless closed). No hallway jams should occur outside of a Jampod.

To keep MAGFest safe and fun for everyone, please follow these rules:

Universal Jampod Rules

1. Jams should be no more than 30 minutes (including set up) when someone else is waiting for a turn.

2. Both performers AND audience must stay within the Jam Zone (floor tape). 
   Walkways must remain clear to traffic at all times.

3. Posted volume limits must be followed.
   Acceptable volume varies by Jam Pod location. Staff may request you relocate to a different Jam Pod.

4. Jam Pods are Non-Profit.
   No collecting tips or selling merch. You can give things away and share your social media!

5. Staff may end a jam for any reason. 
   Common examples include: excess noise, crowd size, or going over time.
