Danville Harvest Jubilee began in 1980 as "Victorian Danville Weekend" and evolved into a multifaceted event including food events, national entertainment and family activities. Danville Harvest Jubilee was home to the World Tobacco Auctioneering Championship for many years.
Today, the Jubilee board coordinates many entertainment-based activities which offer a benefit to the quality of life for the citizens of the Danville area. DHJ also reinvests earnings to continue the improvement of The Crossing at the Dan, located in the tobacco warehouse district.
