Jam at the Dam





Catawba Riverkeeper’s live music event series is back! These family and pet friendly Friday nights at The Boathouse were a huge hit in 2021.
Bring your lawn chair, dancing shoes, and your appetite. Rotating food trucks will be on site at each event.
We encourage you to show up early to enjoy kayak/canoe/SUP rentals before the music begins. Kayak rentals begin at 4:30 PM and the food truck will be on site when you return from your paddle!
Music starts at 6:30 PM. Grab a beer at our indoor or outdoor bars. Look out for rotating beer specials.
