JACKSON LIONS CLUB JULY 3^RD,2026 FAMILY PICNIC AND FIREWORKS SHOW

Aimee Baseball Field, Detert Park, Jackson

(Jackson) The Jackson Lions Club is pleased to announce plans for the club’s annual Third of July traditional family picnic and spectacular fireworks show at Aimee Baseball Field, Detert Park, Jackson.

On Friday, July 3, 2026, the Jackson Lions will welcome kids of all ages to Detert Park, Jackson, to celebrate Independence Day with family games, a soda/snack bar, other food vendors (Mother Lode Market, Jamba Juice and more) and a raffle for great prizes, all leading up to the spectacular fireworks show that the Lions Club is famous for providing to the community.

The snack bar and food vendors will open at 5 pm, with family games on the Aimee Baseball Field starting at 7:45 pm and the fireworks show beginning at dark, usually around 9:30 pm. Admission is free, and families should bring chairs or blankets for seating. The fireworks show will be launched from the Jackson Jr. High sports field (no members of the public are allowed there).

Plan to park at Argonaut High School (parking lot on Argonaut Lane) and catch the free Amador Transit shuttle to Detert Park at the corner of Argonaut Lane and Westview Drive. Shuttle hours: 4:10 – 11:00 pm.
IMPORTANT -- No illegal fireworks are allowed in Detert Park and violators will be reported to the Jackson Police Department.
Sorry, no pop-up tents will be allowed in the parking lots for Aimee Field/Detert Park as that space is needed for parking.
No outside vendors will be allowed to sell at the event unless specifically approved by the Jackson Lions.

The Lions are also planning to hold their annual safe and sane fireworks sale 9 am – 9 pm, Friday, June 27 (opens at 1 pm) – Friday, July 4, near the Aimee Baseball Field at Detert Park in Jackson.

All proceeds from fireworks sales and donations will support the Jackson Lions scholarship funds and support to youth groups and many other local projects. For more information, contact Jackson Lions Club July 3rd Co-Chair Todd Riebe (209) 418-9071.

Watch for more information closer to the time of the event.

Camille Sobon was crowned 2014 Jackson Lions Rodeo Queen during a ceremony held May 24 at Evalynn Bishop Hall in Ione, Calif.

"I am speechless right now," Sobon said after the ceremony. "It was such an honor to be named Jackson Lions Rodeo Queen. I have a lot of pride in Amador County as well as the other contestants I competed against today. I've worked really hard with my horse, and I gave it my all and I'm just thrilled with the results."
