June Jubilee Returns To Dandridge
June Jubilee made its first appearance in Historic Dandridge in several years on Saturday, June 20, 2015. The streets of the historic town square were packed early, as locals and visitors came out in abundance to welcome the beloved street fair back to Town. More than 50 vendors were on hand offering everything from delicious food to high end artisan wares. A line up of great bands kept the energy high through out the day and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The award winning Jags cheerleading squad gave crowd pleasing mid morning performance, as did solo twirlers from East Tennessee Twirlers. Dicey pre event weather did not allow for a planned civil war encampment. However, the group took to the street in full regalia to preform traditional music. An early morning fly over by the Morristown Experimental Aviation Club was a great way to kick off the event.
Mother Nature came calling around mid day, in the form of strong wind and rain, but the vendors and crowd stayed strong, even weathering a second bout of heavy rain in late afternoon. The last band took stage around six o’clock, and enjoyed an enthusiastic group of fans as they rocked the streets until the final note was played.
