Street Corner Jam: New Free Music Series Coming to Downtown Opelika

April 24, 2026

A new weekly summer music event called the Street Corner Jam will bring musicians and community members together in downtown Opelika starting this summer.

Created by Cody and Maria Foote (owner of Maria’s Jewelry), the jam sessions will take place on Friday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the corner of South Eighth Street and Avenue B, running through June, July, and August.

The event is open to anyone who wants to bring a portable instrument — guitar, harmonica, drums, electric piano — and join in, or simply pull up a chair and listen. Chairs, microphones, mixers, and power amps will be provided. There is no cost to participate or attend.

“We’re not getting anything out of it. There are no fees, no charges,” said Foote. “Whatever costs there are, we’ve already covered them. We just hope people will come and participate.”

Those interested can contact Cody Foote at (334) 663-4561.
