History

Dog Jam started out at the old South Texas State Fair Fairgrounds in 2001 with the headlining band being Union Underground. Since then, the event has attracted bigger name bands and a better venue in Ford Park. In 2007, though, it was held in the Montagne Center at Lamar University. There was no Dog Jam in 2008, for unknown reasons.
