As the sun sets on any summer evening here on Salt Spring Island, you can often hear music. From the beach, a rogue guitar, or one of our many restaurants, pubs, and venues that host this musical magic.

We're thrilled to welcome back the Pitchfork Social Concert Series at The Jam Factory this summer.

Our first show, the Harry Manx Trio, was this past weekend, and we had a great time kicking off the summer with this show. This year, the lineup has grown to offer more shows and fantastic talent like The Cowboy Junkies, Chris Smither, Dylan LeBlanc, and more.

Hosting here at The Jam Factory gives you a stunning outdoor setting nestled in the trees, with that golden glow of string lights, and warm summer evenings (fingers crossed!).

With food from Woodshed Provisions, charcuterie boards from South End Sausage, treats from Mavericks Coffee & Ice Cream, and drinks from SaltSpring Kitchen Co., we're looking forward to great musical evenings all summer long. If you're a toe-tapper or the dance-like-nobody-is-watching type, we have a show for you this summer.

Experience the Vibrancy of Salt Spring Island

Our little island is filled with a vibrant art, culture, food and beverage scene, with outdoor adventures abound. From kayaking to hiking trails, beach walks to lake dips, we have something for everyone in your group. Check out our galleries, markets, bookstores, cafes, and restaurants.

Visit us at The Jam Factory during the day (check here for opening hours) to taste our lineup (great for hotel and camping cheese boards), the grab-and-go cooler at Woodshed Provisions, ice cream and treats at Mavericks Coffee & Ice Cream, or all the pastries and bread at Francis Bread.

After a day of exploration, what could be better than a night under the stars, swayed by the rhythms of fabulous musicians?
