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

 

Your support sustains artists, funds educational programs, preserves this 117-year-old theatre, and keeps live performance thriving in East Tennessee.

 

Jubilee isn’t just a music festival. It’s preservation in action.

SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE
JUBILEE PLANNING COMMITTEE
