LAKE MILLS — Events for all ages throughout the community will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the 31st annual July Jubilee.

Events from wine tasting to inflatables for kids to the annual rendezvous will be available for families all weekend. A majority of the events from past festivities are returning this year.

Friday will kick off the weekend with wine tasting at the 1901 Victorian House. The Lake Mills Area Historical Society will host this fundraiser from 5 to 7 p.m. and the cost is $12, with a keepsake wine glass, wines and hors d’oeuvres. Topping off the night will be the annual Friday night street dance and beer garden, featuring Killer Hayseeds from 8 p.m. to midnight.

Saturday fun starts at 7 a.m. with registration for the 5K fun run/walk, and the parade is at 10:30 a.m. with the community picnic to follow. The parade will start early this year at 10:30 a.m., as opposed to last year’s evening start time.

The afternoon is filled with activities near Oakwood Park including a performance by Sig’s Band, inflatable games, vendors and a triathlon for children. The pedal pull and three-on-three basketball contest is available for kids of all ages. The night will round out with another street dance and beer garden, featuring So Big, again from 8 p.m. to midnight.

Sunday activities will include a pancake, eggs and sausage breakfast served by the American Legion Post 235; annual radio-controlled airplane show at the airport and an open house at the 1901 Victorian House from 1 to 3 p.m..
