Fall Jam'n Weekend at the historic Colonial Inn in Concord, MA Fall Jam'n Weekend is an indoor "non-festival" where you can jam all weekend long or attend instructor-led jams and free workshops (with your paid registration). All jammers are welcome at any level, from beginner to advanced. You can pick around the clock within the beautiful spaces of the Colonial Inn from Friday evening through early Sunday afternoon. Reserve your room by calling the Colonial Inn directly at (877) 425-2081, and don't forget to mention the BBU discount and whether you prefer a picking room or non-picking room. Only a limited number of registrations will be available, as space is limited. Don't miss this chance to hang out with fellow pickers, take workshops, and have a great time!
