The Summer Jubilee is a back-to-school celebration that mixes summer fun with a backpack giveaway hosted by the City of High Point Human Relations Department, along with Brothers and Sisters in Christ (BASiC), the High Point Public Library and the High Point Farmers Market. At this year’s event, we will give away 432 backpacks (150 more than last year) filled with school supplies in the HPB Insurance parking lot at 801 N Elm St., across the street from the library, beginning at 9 a.m., and will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis until supplies are gone. The event will run in conjunction with the High Point Farmers Market, which will be open from 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. and will feature live music. Additionally, the jubilee will include a petting zoo, fairy hair booth and a visit from High Point University Mascot, Prowler, between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. The City of High Point Parks and Recreation Department will provide adaptive games from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Backpacks were purchased with a generous donation from Bethany Medical, and school supplies were funded by an anonymous donor. Additional supplies were provided by Cover the City Project, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Keep High Point Beautiful and the City of High Point Stormwater and Recycling Divisions.
