Chesapeake Jubilee
Kick off each summer at the annual Chesapeake Jubilee in May.
The Jubilee offers one of the largest varieties of carnival rides and games east of the Mississippi!
Renowned for its shrimp feast, 4-H livestock sale, crafts and a KCBS-certified BBQ competition, this event offers fun for everyone! The 6th Annual Chesapeake Jubilee BBQ Cook-off took place May 20-21, 2011, with over $10,000 in cash and prizes.
The event annually welcomes national acts. This year's acts included:
The Wailers
10,000 Maniacs
Gretchen Wilson
The Chesapeake Jubilee began as a 20th birthday celebration for the city in 1983. The 4-H livestock show, sale and fireworks have always been a part of the celebration. To see the full schedule of events and for more information, visit Chesapeake Jubilee. Don't miss the fireworks celebration.
Book your next weekend getaway in Chesapeake and come ready for a packed weekend of fun and fireworks!
