The Chesapeake Jubilee at the City Park
The Chesapeake Jubilee comes again from May 20th - 23th. Great Weather this weekend for this awesome Festival...Make sure to make it earlier in the day as it might rain in the late afternoon if the weather station is correct....
In it’s 27th year, this local festival is one
that our Hampton Roads, Tidewater family, friends and neighbors look forward to.
The Jubilee celebrates Chesapeake’s birthday. Chesapeake was born in 1963 when, Norfolk Virginia, county and the city of South Norfolk merged to create Chesapeake. The events are held thanks to the help of volunteers, city staff, community groups, and police, fire and sheriff’s departments. The first Jubilee was held at Greenbrier Mall in May of 1983. There was a huge birthday cake to celebrate it's first 20 years. The cake was built by Chesapeake’s firefighters and the candles were lit by gas. Fire Chief Buddy Bagley made arrangements for fireworks and has been in charge of them ever since.
The Chesapeake Jubilee is held at one of the parks in Chesapeake Virginia: The Chesapeake City Park, located in Greenbrier Chesapeake.
500 Greenbrier Parkway.
The Chesapeake Jubilee is a favorite for locals as it has Music, entertainment, rides, fireworks, country fair, (that was my kids favorite when they were little) Crafts, Shrimp Feast, corn hole, barbecue competition and much more. Here are a few high lights.
