The Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee has made its exciting return to Angels Camp, and it’s a celebration steeped in 133 years of quirky tradition. From the fluttering excitement of kids aged 12 and under getting in free, to the delightful sound of frogs launching into the air for glory, this event has something for everyone. Seniors can enjoy a great day for just five dollars—who can resist that kind of deal?
This year’s festivities kicked off with laughter and plenty of ribbeting fun. During a lively broadcast, Melanie Wingo connected with some amphibious friends while explaining the importance of making the frogs feel just a bit scared to encourage their jumping prowess. Can you imagine competition so serious that it involves charming a frog into panic mode?
The jubilee’s Saturday program is particularly special, coinciding with America’s 250th birthday. It’s a perfect opportunity to gather the family, indulge in delightful fair foods, and cheer on those high-flying frogs. Without a doubt, the Jumping Frog Jubilee is hopping back into our hearts just when we need it most! What will be the next big leap for this beloved local event?
