Bolingbrook Jubilee Returns With Carnival, Car And Craft Show

BOLINGBROOK, IL — Twenty-one years ago, the Jubilee started as a way to celebrate Bolingbrook's 25th year of incorporation. This summer, it returns for three days of events and entertainment, the village announced Monday.

Running from Aug. 20 to Aug. 22 at the Bolingbrook Town Center, 375 W. Briarcliff Road, each day at the Jubilee — where admission is free — features different entertainment options, and more events will continue to be added, according to its website.

A traditional carnival, sponsored by Jaycees, is returning all three days. While that'll be going on in front of the Town Center, a bingo tent will be around the back. Unlimited ride wristbands can be purchased on Saturday and Sunday, costing $25 per day.

Saturday's entertainment features the Jubilee Craft Show, which will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Spots are still open for vendors, and those interested can submit an application and learn more about the event here.

The classic car show, Summer Cruze 2021, will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Pre-registration isn't required, but there is a $10 entry fee per car. Trophies will also be awarded in various categories at the show.

Friday's live music includes the Mixtape Junkies, performing from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Hi Infidelity, on from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Five bands are currently scheduled to perform Saturday, with Rick Lindy & The Wild Ones opening the day at noon and 7th Heaven closing it out at 9 p.m. Sunday, an Earth, Wind & Fire tribute band, Shining Star, will be headlining the stage from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The Bolingbrook Jubilee will run from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday.
