The Jubilee, as it’s known here in Sparta, was originally located in the former Spartan movie theater. In 1994, Agnes and Ernest Joines reworked the interior of the historic building to be the original location of the Jubilee.
The Jubilee had to move from its long standing location on Main Street in 2025. Ron and Elizabeth Murray, with the blessing of Agnes Joines and Jack Joines, are moving the Jubilee and its love of Old Time Mountain Music to a future site on the Sparta Bypass.
Join us in carrying on the tradition of supporting Old Time Music, musicians and our dance community.
It will take time to build our new place but we want to be sure to provide opportunities for the Jubilee Gang to get together and dance to our favorite old time music bands. For now, we will be meeting only on Saturday nights at the Sparta United Methodist Church at 190 N. Main St. in Sparta.
