JEWELL — Get ready for a weekend of fun, food, and community spirit as the 56th annual Jewell Jubilee returns on Friday, June 13, and Saturday, June 14.

The tradition in City Park promises activities for all ages, from delicious food to exciting tournaments and lively entertainment.

The Jubilee kicks off on Friday, June 13, at 6 p.m. with the WG Provisions Barbecue Dinner and a captivating performance by Vintage Cafe. The kids will stay entertained with the popular kids’ barrel train ride, nickel scramble, and the South Hamilton FFA tractor pedal pull. Be sure to join us as we cap off the night with a glow-foam party at 9 p.m. and a fireworks display at 10 p.m.

Saturday, June 14, is filled with even more excitement, starting bright and early with the Downtown Farmers Market on King Street.

The Jewell Jubilee Parade, following the same route as last year, kicks off at 10 a.m. and leads into a community lunch. Throughout the day, attendees can enjoy the park’s petting zoo, bounce houses, bingo, and carnival. For those feeling competitive, don’t miss the Wiffle Ball Tournament, Pickleball Tournament, and Bags Tournament. Later in the day, relax at the Beer Garden, grab dinner from the food trucks, and enjoy the sounds of Frank Martin Busch & The Names, who take the stage at 7 p.m.

The Jewell Jubilee would not be possible without the incredible generosity and support of our local businesses and organizations. JADE and the organizing committee extend their sincere gratitude to all the sponsors, including Stratford Communications, Shomo-Madsen-Krause Insurance, POET, AgForce, JA Concrete Construction, ARKO & Jewell Family Dentistry, Sogard Excavating & Seamless Pros, Jewell Market & Trackside Welding, and many more.
