Black Gold Jubilee

“Her Soil is Her Fortune!” This is how locals describe the historic city of Belle Glade, with its dark, rich and incredibly fertile ground. To celebrate the annual end of the harvest season, the entire Glades Region – Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay – come together with friends and family at the Black Gold Jubilee for fabulous food, good ole’ country music, parade and firework show.

Folks are sure to have a full day of fun on Torry Island! The 5K Walk/Run kicks off at 7:30 a.m. with all-day free children's activities, rides and games along with fabulous food booths tempting you with favorites such as jambalaya, boudin, corn and sugar cook-offs. Enjoy the arts and crafts booths, photography display, car show and action in a volleyball tournament.

On the music stage there isn't just one headliner, this year there are three! Nashville recording artist Magic of Motown kicks off the musical portion of this year's festivities at :30 5p.m. followed by Restless Heart at 7:30pm. Closing out the evening enjoy a spectacular fireworks display at dusk.

Jubilee starts at noon.
