Jackson Township officials are inviting local businesses and organizations to take part in the township’s historic Jackson Day 2026 celebration by becoming event sponsors and helping support what is expected to be one of the largest community gatherings in the township’s history.

The event, which marks the 50th anniversary of Jackson Day, is scheduled for Sunday, August 23, 2026, at Johnson Park, with a rain date of August 30. Township officials say the golden anniversary celebration will honor five decades of community pride, growth, and tradition while bringing together residents from across Jackson for a full day of family-friendly activities.

According to sponsorship materials released by the Township, this year’s festivities are expected to feature free children’s rides, monster truck rides, live entertainment, community organizations, a helicopter landing, a drone show, exhibitions, vendors, and numerous other attractions.

Mayor Jennifer Kuhn, members of the Township Council, and the Township Administration are encouraging businesses to participate, noting that sponsorships help make the event possible while providing companies with an opportunity to showcase their products and services to thousands of attendees.

Officials say sponsorship benefits include increased visibility throughout the Jackson community, promotion through event marketing efforts, recognition on township platforms, and inclusion on event materials.

Township leaders are also calling on businesses to view sponsorship as an opportunity to give back to the community that supports them throughout the year.

“As Jackson celebrates this milestone 50th anniversary, local businesses have a unique opportunity to partner with the township, support a cherished community tradition, and help create a memorable event for residents and visitors alike,” officials said.

Jackson Day 2026 is scheduled to run from 12:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Johnson Park, located at 200 Kierych Memorial Drive.
