 Huck Finn Jubilee, the Largest Bluegrass Jam in the World,  combines the best of country music entertainment with a themed weekend of games, activities, contests and non-stop fun to make for a annual family event that people return to time & again.  Grab your dulcimers, your fiddles, banjos, guitars and singing voices, and prepare to find a home among the stars of Bluegrass. Concerts and clinics are just the start of the fun at Huck Finn Jubilee where kids sometimes show up dressed like Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher. Events during the weekend include contests and activities right off the pages of the books by Mark Twain such as the adventures of Tom Sawyer. and a guest appearance is made on stage by the famed author (a look- alike Twain).

Huck Finn's Jubilee - Mark Twain's America Revisited is relive with  jumping frogs, hot air balloons and the arrival of a small town circus. During the three-day festival families can whitewash fences, build river rafts and climb a greased pole. Nearly all 1880's style contests are free to enter, and winners receive not only bragging rights, but ribbons too!

In a return to Hannibal, Missouri, Tom & Becky help select a boy to be Huck during Saturday's Huck Finn look-a-like contest. The threesome then assists in running activities, which continue through Sunday, and Injun Joe's Treasure Hunt. Kids can also join the antics of the Russell Bros. Circus, learn how to make rope and "Sing for a Pie" in the Mountain Man Village.
