History of Dog Jam

The Dog Jam festival first started in 2001. Its very first location was at the old South Texas State Fair Fairgrounds. The main band that played that year was Union Underground.

Over time, Dog Jam grew bigger and more popular. It began to attract even more famous bands to play. The festival also moved to a better place, Ford Park, which offered more space for the event. However, in 2007, the festival was held at the Montagne Center at Lamar University instead of Ford Park. For some reason, there was no Dog Jam festival in 2008.
