39th Annual Jubilee: Festival of Black History & Culture

Now in its 39^th year, this FREE outdoor festival brings artisans, dancers, musicians, and storytellers together to celebrate South Carolina’s black history and culture on the grounds of the Mann-Simons Site in downtown Columbia.

This year’s Jubilee will feature a head-lining performance from Cheri Maree, an international recording artist, songwriter, and author who brings “soul jazz” to the center stage. A multi-talented vocalist and musician raised in Columbia, S.C., Cheri’s eclectic sound and style have graced the stage with legendary Grammy-winning artists, including Patti LaBelle, Al Jarreau, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Brian McKnight.

In addition, Jubilee 2017 will feature other performance from South Carolina musicians, demonstration artists from across the state, food/art/outdoor vendors, family-friendly activities and games, house tours of the Mann-Simons Site and the Modjeska Monteith Simkins House, bus tours of important African American sites in downtown Columbia, and more!
