Tucked into the bluffs above Truman Lake, Warsaw has always been a town that knows how to come together. Jubilee Days began as a small downtown celebration and grew — one parade, one pageant, one fireworks show at a time — into the hometown festival families now plan their summer around.
Today, Jubilee Days fills four days of June with everything that makes Warsaw home: parades down Main Street, pageants honoring our young women, vendors sharing handmade goods, runners taking on the harbor 5K, and — yes — turtle races for the kids. It all ends with fireworks bursting over the water at Drake Harbor.
This festival belongs to the people of Warsaw — residents, business owners, lake neighbors, and visitors who've made it part of their tradition. We are proud to keep it going, year after year.

Chuck & Krystal — Years of Service to Jubilee Days
For years, Chuck and Krystal have poured their hearts into running Warsaw MO Jubilee Days. They've spent countless hours planning, organizing, coordinating volunteers, and making sure every parade, pageant, and fireworks show came together — all so our town could keep this tradition alive.
2026 will be their final year leading the festival. Warsaw owes them an enormous debt of gratitude for everything they've given to this community. Their fingerprints are on every corner of Jubilee Days, and the festival we know today would not exist without their dedication.
From all of us — thank you, Chuck and Krystal. Warsaw is a better place because of you.
Looking ahead
