 Legendary rock performers such as Peter Frampton and newer bands like Cold Kingdom are just some of the names that'll grace the stage at the 26th annual Moondance Jam in Walker. Hedy Clotter shows us how fans are still flocking to the city for the ultimate rock experience. From the beat of the bass drums to the blistering sounds of the guitar, those are some of the things that capture the essence of Moondance Jam in Walker. This is one of the best places to go. This is something I look forward to every year. It's Christmas in the summer. This is the 26th year for the four day festival where nearly 25,000 people pack the house and camp out to have a good time and watch some of the best rock artists and bands play their tunes. Moondance is all about making memories and making friends and all about being a Moondance family when it's all said and done. You can expect to see Melissa Ethrich and Vince Neal on the stage. Some bands are making their Moondance Jam debut like Minneapolis born Cold Kingdom. You could feel their excitement to put on a show during soundcheck. We need sort of one-off festivals. We get an opportunity to play more music, which is what we love to do. And I'm really excited to see Hail Storm later. Thursday marks the beginning of the main acts that go on through Saturday. Moondance Jam also turns into a rock and roll campground. There's no need to leave the fun when you're in the midst of it. Everywhere you look, you see people in door themselves. There's even a mo... It's never too late to get in on the action. First time jammers are always welcome. You know what? I'm just embracing the whole concert. I'm not like a major concert goer, but I'm thinking it's just gonna be fun, just the whole environment. Moondance Jam has worldwide appeal and jammers come from all over for the experience, just like Cheryl Vacher, who made the trip from Canada. We have a blues fest, which is the weekend of music, but we don't get to camp there. So this is a very unique experience. Dan Z. Bart is a Moondance Jam veteran and has been front and center at all 26 shows. He's ready to see Peter Frampton and just can't get enough of the rock scene. The people, more so than anything else. I mean, it's just a very fun crew of people. They're relaxed, it's not a crazy event. I just love listening to the music and meeting people here. Until next year, here's to Rocking Out in Walker, Haiti Quarter, Lakeland News. From now until Saturday, Campgrounds open at 10 a.m. and concert gates at noon.
