Pancake Jubilee
The Downtown Optimist Club depends upon one primary fundraiser each year to pay for all the programs we support in the Meridian area. That fundraiser is our Annual Pancake Jubilee. Each year on one single day from 6:30am to around 7:00pm, we feed over 2,000 people all-you-can-eat pancakes with all the fixing’s including Mosby Sausage, maple syrup, milk, soda and coffee. It has been estimated that during that day we will cook over 10,000 pancakes and 500lbs of sausage. Gallons of butter and syrup will be poured and thousands of cartons of milk and cans of Coco-Cola will wash it all down.
The Annual Pancake Jubilee has been a favorite of Meridian and Lauderdale County residents for over 60 years! The Pancake Jubilee has become one of the most anticipated events held in our fair city each year. Children whose activities over the years have benefited from the resources generated by this unique event are now adults who bring their children each year to enjoy a grand time of food and fellowship with their neighbors. We like to say that Pancake Jubilee is “Meridian’s Front Porch” where friends can gather, eat some great food, support a great cause, relax and enjoy themselves all at the same time.
We appreciate everyone who has supported our efforts over the years and look forward to seeing you there next year!
