Background

This will be the 41st Annual Autumn Jubilee at Dan Nicholas Park this year and the planning starts almost as soon as the last one ends. This is an ongoing project preparing for this event. This year’s event is set for October 2 and 3 from 10 AM to 5 PM. It occurs annually the first Saturday and Sunday in October.

Originally, this event was run by the United Arts Council as an arts and crafts show. Later, due to popularity, it was taken over by the County and currently over 60,000 attend this event rain or shine.

A Few Things to Know

When you are making plans to attend the Autumn Jubilee here are a few things that you want to keep in mind:

  • Service animals specially trained to aid a person with a disability are welcome; however, no pets are allowed.
  • Dan Nicholas Park is tobacco-free and alcohol-free.
  • Bring cash! There will be an ATM available and vendors may accept cards as well, but you may want to have cash in case the card readers do not work.
  • Consider taking Stokes Ferry Road to Agner Road for an easier route into the Jubilee.
