The 20th Annual Jubilee Festival, an Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce event, is scheduled for September 27 and 28, 2008. The Jubilee Festival Organizing Committee is planning for a banner event this year.

The juried art show takes place on Main Street (Scenic 98) in Olde Towne Daphne, in front of City Hall and in Centennial Park. There is no admission and the festival will be going on 10 am to 5 pm each day.

T-shirts and posters will be available for purchase at the information booth and will feature artwork chosen by the planning committee created by a local artist.

This year the Jubilee Festival will feature more than 85 of the finest artists and craftsmen in the region. The Eastern Shore Chamber expects more than 37,000 patrons to attend this year. Those attending will also find a delicious assortment of unique festival foods.

Highly experienced judges will pick best of 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 returns to Centennial Park again this year. It is a great opportunity to provide children hands-on experience in learning and exploring their creative side. In addition to the many favorite activities new, fun things to do are being introduced. Kids enjoy such activities as fence painting, creating wooden structures, fish prints, puppet making, and more.

As always, the fantastic entertainment on stage at the Jubilee Fest showcasing the best acts in the region. What’s different this year is that we are only going to have one stage set up for entertainment – the Main Stage will be located in front of City hall and two other stages will be located at the South and North ends of the festival.
