Get ready for a new Saturday tradition that hits all the right notes. The Town of Mount Jackson is cranking up the volume this spring with the debut of Junk & Jams, a monthly high-energy market designed to be the ultimate community circuit for Shenandoah County.
Starting Saturday, April 11, 2026, Mayor’s Park will transform into a vibrant "Flea, Farm, and Folk" market. Junk & Jams isn't your average market—it’s where the garden meets the groove, blending the grit of a vintage flea market with the freshness of a farmers’ market, all fueled by an upbeat soundtrack. THINK: rust, roots and rhythm! Junk & Jams will be held 9am-1pm, second Saturdays, April through September.
A Vision for Community Connection: This isn't just a place to shop; it’s going to grow into a town-wide movement. Junk & Jams is designed to be the ultimate Saturday morning hangout—a place to grab a coffee, discover a one-of-a-kind treasure, and catch up with neighbors and grab some fresh farm finds.
The Seasonal Groove: Themes & The "Theme De-Bunk": While each month features a curated "Vibe" to guide the music and give the "Vibe Tribe" a fun excuse to dress up, the Town wants to clear the air: the themes are just a suggestion for the "flavor" of the day. Junk & Jams is always a full-throttle jumble where you could easily find "all the things, all the weeks."
