September 17th - 20th, 2026 Hilton Head Island Jam Songwriter Festival

The Songs. The Stories. The Island

The Hilton Head Island Jam is a free, multi-venue songwriter festival held every September on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Each year, the writers behind country and pop music's biggest hits come down from Nashville and join the Low Country's best rooms for four days of original music — told in the round and up close.

Now in its fourth year, HHIJ has grown into one of the Southeast's most distinctive musical events: 5,000+ attendees, 30+ songwriters, eight-plus iconic Hilton Head venues, all of it open to anyone on the island. Presented by the Town of Hilton Head Island.
