CJAM presents Higher Ground 2026

FOUR VENUES. TWO NIGHTS. ONE UNMISSABLE WEEKEND IN DOWNTOWN WINDSOR.

CJAM 99.1 FM presents Higher Ground Music Festival. It's two nights of live music across four downtown Windsor venues, with 15+ acts from Windsor, Detroit, London, Peterborough and beyond. Expect electronic, pop, folk, garage and everything in between.

This year Higher Ground kicks off CJAM's Fall Pledge Drive, so every ticket helps keep independent community radio on the air. It also pays the artists who make this scene special.

• 🎟 PASSES One-Night Pass: $30 Weekend Pass: $50

SUPPORT INDEPENDENT RADIO CJAM is a non-profit, volunteer-driven campus and community station that has served Windsor and Detroit since 1983. Our goal this fall is to raise $10,000 to lock in our technical upgrades and keep CJAM growing as an independent voice in the community. You can make a pledge and pick up CJAM merch at any Higher Ground venue. Donor perks include the new 2026 CJAM T-shirt by Windsor artist Derek Cerovski and "Goes to 11" pins by Ray Brisson.

Can't make it? Give online anytime at CJAM.ca.

Higher Ground is supported by the City of Windsor's Arts, Culture & Heritage Fund.
