Why it matters?
When You Celebrate, You Sustain
When you attend, bid, dance, and raise a glass at Jubilee, you help ensure:
-
A Knoxville student walks into the Bijou for their very first live performance
-
A regional artist sees their name lit on the marquee
-
Our historic theatre continues to stand at the heart of Gay Street
-
More than 80,000 people each year experience live performance in this space
Â
Your support sustains artists, funds educational programs, preserves this 117-year-old theatre, and keeps live performance thriving in East Tennessee.
Â
Jubilee isn’t just a music festival. It’s preservation in action.
