Welcome to the official site of the Bridge Crossing Jubilee. Here you will find historical facts, pictures, information on all upcoming events, and much more. Each year the National Voting Rights Museum & Institute in conjunction with 21st Century Youth Leadership Movement, Wallace Community College Selma, the City of Selma, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference sponsors the Bridge Crossing Jubilee. The Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee is held the first full weekend of every March to commemorate “Bloody Sunday", the March from Selma-to-Montgomery, and the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The Jubilee which takes place the first weekend in March at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, is attended by 30,000 people! It is a street festival of music, art and history. In addition, the Jubilee is the celebration and commemoration of the right to vote and March from Selma to Montgomery. It also serves as a reunion for many of the Voting and Civil Rights participants. We look forward to seeing you at this years Jubilee.
