Jacksonport Celebrates Its Sesquicentennial

A “cake” honored the town’s 150 years.

Good neighbors, good food and music, and a great fireworks display – some say the best they’ve seen on the peninsula – were all part of Jacksonport’s celebration of 150 years as a town on Aug. 10. Photos by Len Villano.

Bouncy houses kept the kids engaged during the celebration.

There’s nothing quite like a good sax solo to get the crowd cheering.

Jacksonport residents were able to dig into plates of food provided by the town. Nonresidents paid $5 per plate of food.
