Celebrate the start of Boulder City’s event season at the beloved Boulder City Spring Jamboree, a cherished community tradition since 1977. Held each year on the first weekend in May in the heart of historic downtown, this family-friendly festival brings two full days of fun, food, shopping, entertainment, and small-town charm.
Since its inception, Spring Jamboree has grown into one of Boulder City’s largest and most anticipated annual celebrations, drawing thousands of visitors from across Southern Nevada and beyond. What began as a simple sidewalk sale organized by local business owners has evolved into the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce’s signature fundraising event, supporting local businesses and community initiatives while showcasing the city’s unique character.
Guests can explore several beautiful public parks throughout downtown, including Bicentennial Park, Wilbur Square, and North and South Escalante Parks, all transformed into a vibrant festival setting. Tree-lined walkways are filled with hundreds of vendor booths, offering everything from handcrafted goods and unique art pieces to specialty items you won’t find anywhere else.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can enjoy a wide variety of attractions, including a classic hot-rod car show featuring stunning vehicles from across the West, a rock, gem, and mineral show highlighting fascinating natural treasures, and endless rows of arts and crafts created by talented artisans. Food lovers will find plenty to indulge in, with vendors serving up delicious snacks, treats, and international flavors.
Live entertainment keeps the energy high with two full days of performances on the main stage, featuring local musicians and performers, while families can enjoy fun-filled kids’ activities designed to keep younger guests engaged and smiling.
Whether you’re visiting for the car show, browsing artisan booths, enjoying live music, or spending quality time with family, Spring Jamboree offers something for everyone. More than just a festival, it’s a celebration of Boulder City’s welcoming spirit, strong sense of community, and timeless charm — truly “A World Away for a Day.”
