History of Miners Jubilee
Miners Jubilee is a 3-day celebration of the county's gold mining heritage that has been held annually in one form or another since the late 1800s. Miners’ Jubilee is held on the third weekend of July in Baker City, Oregon. Miners’ Jubilee makes the heritage and history of Baker County come to life with a parade, vendors in the park, a huge food court, music, sidewalk fair, mining demonstrations and kids’ activities. Bronc Riding Friday night and Bull Riding Saturday night creates a full weekend of events that draws family and class reunions to Baker City every year.
