The lineup features two days of Dead-inspired sets with Jason Hann of The String Cheese Incident, Marcus Rezak, Bill McKay, Josh Laskin of SunSquabi, and vocalist Michelle Sarah, with additional performances by Break Signals and Knuckleball. Attendees can also take part in a percussion clinic hosted by Jason Hann, enjoy late-night poolside music sessions, and experience immersive visuals, sound, and lighting throughout the weekend.

Jam Fest West includes lodging and all-inclusive pass options, breakfast events with Chef Amy Beer of Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company, and a charitable component—$10 from every ticket sold supports Leaving A Positive Legacy. Capacity is limited to 150 attendees, creating a close-knit festival experience in the heart of Estes Park.
