Jubilee Day returns to downtown Mechanicsburg for 95th year

The annual street festival brings in thousands of people each June as well as hundreds of vendors and local artists.

"It's always been a highlight of Mechanicsburg. It brings everybody out, brings the whole town, and other towns out. And it's great for socializing, plus you do your shopping and of course, your eating," said Jeff Palm, executive director of the Mechanicsburg Chamber of Commerce.

"You have everything under the sun. You have of course the food vendors, but we have crafters, we have retailers, businesses promoting themselves, civic groups telling what they do, I mean it's a little bit of everything. It's a county fair shoved into one street."

The day-long event offers something for all ages. The free admittance petting zoo is also back this year behind Citizen's Bank.

The 2025 entertainment line-up features both new and familiar sounds. Performances include Nicks In Time – the Ultimate Stevie Nicks Tribute Band, Nashville Recording Artist: Christian Yeager, Acoustic Generations, Rockbox, III For the Road, a demonstration by West Shore Academy of Martial Arts, and student bands from Trez Music Education Center and Keystone Music Academy.

The free event runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and takes place on Main Street from York Street to Walnut Street and on Market Street from Simpson Street to Strawberry Avenue.

Parking: FREE shuttle bus service will be offered from two locations: Immanuel Church, 800 S Market St & Mechanicsburg High School, 500 S Broad St. Shuttle service runs from 10:30am – 9:00pm. Attendees will be dropped off at the corner of Simpson and Market Streets.
