DAPHNE, Ala. — The 22nd Annual Jubilee Festival, an Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce event, is scheduled for Sept. 25 and 26. The Jubilee Festival Organizing Committee is planning for a banner, “phenomenal” event this year, a spokesperson said. 

There is no admission and the festival will be going on 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The festival will feature some of the finest artists and crafts makers in the region.  The Eastern Shore Chamber expects more than 34,000 patrons to attend this year.

A juried art show takes place on Main Street (Scenic 98) in Olde Towne Daphne, in front of City Hall and in Centennial Park. Highly experienced judges will pick the best works in the show and artists chosen as top in their category will win cash prizes.

Artists are also recognized with the Art Patrons Award. Committee members and resident patrons commit to purchase selection of work from an artist of their choice, and honors them with special ribbons. 

Kids Art at Jubilee Festival provides children hands-on experience in learning and exploring their creative side. In addition to many favorite activities from past festivals, new, fun things to do are being introduced, a spokesperson said. Activities will include fence painting, creating wooden structures, fish prints, puppet making and more.           

Entertainment on stage at the Jubilee Fest showcases the best acts in the region, and those attending will also find an assortment of unique festival foods.
