CAMBRIDGE, ID – As Mitch Albom wisely said, “The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” That is exactly what Hells Canyon Days and the Hells Canyon Jam represent.
This annual celebration is more than just music and motor shows—it’s a heartfelt effort to build a stronger future for the next generation. It’s for the kids with mud on their boots and hay in their hair, the ones who reflect the grit, character, and heart of rural life. The event honors the volunteers and traditions that make small-town America thrive, while ensuring those values continue to flourish for generations to come.
Thanks to overwhelming community support and generous sponsorships, Hells Canyon Jam has grown into a sustainable event, operating a full year ahead and building real momentum. In 2024, the Frontier Motel and RV Park sold out before the concert lineup was even announced—a clear sign that excitement around the Jam is at an all-time high.
Sponsorships have made real impact, fueling important local programs:
Education Scholarship Fund: $10,000 awarded annually to graduating seniors from Cambridge High School, Midvale High School, and local homeschool students.
Emergency Fund: Re-established in 2024, with $800 already donated to local families in need. The goal: a $5,000 reserve to respond to future emergencies.
Community Grant Fund: In 2024, $14,550 was awarded to support groups such as Tri-Valley Wrestling, Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department, Cambridge FFA, and more.
The Hells Canyon Jam also boasts a standout distinction: the only combined Truck and Car Show in the Pacific Northwest—and one of the largest nationwide. In 2024, 57 trucks and 118 cars drew record-breaking crowds, with incredible support from the trucking industry both on display and behind the scenes.
And we’re not slowing down.
Hells Canyon Days 2025 promises another unforgettable weekend in Cambridge, complete with hometown charm, exciting community events, and a concert lineup headlined by none other than the Eli Young Band.
Whether you come for the music, the motors, or the mission—you’ll leave feeling proud to be part of something truly meaningful.
