Contact the Jubilee

The Jubilee has moved to a new home. In July of 2025, we moved into our new location at 562 N Sparta Parkway where taps are welcome. Our events have returned to Monday night Line Dance Lessons, Tuesday night live music with our house band Rise and Shine, and Saturday night live music by regional guest bands. See our schedule below for the weekly band listing. We welcome you to wear your taps if you have them or just come enjoy the music. We hope to see you soon. - Elizabeth and Ron Murray

 

If you love to flatfoot, clog, square dance or just tap your foot to old time mountain music, the Alleghany Jubilee is where you want to be!

The Jubilee is located in Sparta, a small town nestled in the mountains of northwest North Carolina.

We are handicap-accessible and family-oriented. Alcohol is strictly prohibited. Kids are always welcome! Come join the fun!

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, have moved the Jubilee and its love of Old Time Mountain Music to a new site at 562 N Sparta Parkway.

Join us in carrying on the tradition of supporting Old Time Music, musicians and our dance community.

 

now available during Jubilee events! T-shirts are $16 for sizes S, M, and L; $18 for XL and 2X.

	The international program, Globe Trekker, shown in the United States on PBS stations, visited the Jubilee Saturday May 12. Host Justine Shapiro interviewed Ernest & Agnes and some of the Alleghany Jubilee regulars.
We were recently featured in this VisitNC video about Blue Ridge mountain music. People in this region have been making music since they came here. Old-time, hillbilly- whatever you call it- it's in our blood and part of our culture.
