'''Halfway Jam''' was a 1980s music festival in [Royalton, Minnesota](/source/Royalton%2C_Minnesota) (minutes outside [St. Cloud](/source/St._Cloud%2C_Minnesota), and an hour north of [Minneapolis](/source/Minneapolis)) that takes place generally in the later part of July until more recently with newer bands being added.<ref>{{cite news | title = Halfway Jam celebrates 10 years of rock | url = http://www.sctimes.com/article/20130725/ENT02/307250011/Halfway-Jam-celebrates-10-years-rock | work = St. Cloud Times | date = July 24, 2013 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://archive.today/20130729081114/http://www.sctimes.com/article/20130725/ENT02/307250011/Halfway-Jam-celebrates-10-years-rock | archive-date = July 29, 2013 }}</ref>

The Jam is now a 3-day event (Thur-Sat) which draws 6-9K per night and allows on-site camping.  Started as a Friday/Saturday event, Halfway added a 3rd day that was initially tribute bands, but started adding original acts in 2011.

The festival started in 2003 & drew around a thousand people until the promoters started booking the more name bands.  There is a second stage (Rhino Stage) that features local/tribute bands from the area that plays in between main stage acts.
