Get ready for Action in Jackson. This annual event is Friday, June 5 along with Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7 at Jackson Park.

It’s back as a three-day event, according to Jackson Parks and Rec Director Tyler Mentzel. 

"Action in Jackson, historically has been a three-day event when it was born. It moved to a two-day festival. The interest and the amount of people that come out, and some of our vendors expressed interest in doing it for three days. We are all about serving the community. When we have an event like Action in Jackson, we never want it to end.   

It begins on Friday with a fish fry, and then music bingo and a softball tournament.

Saturday will feature the car show, carnival and live entertainment. Saturday night is the John and Marian Kruepke family fireworks show.

Mentzel told WTKM about who puts it on. 

"We have four groups that put it on. They work together to do so. We have our team at Jackson Parks and Recreation, we have the Greater Jackson Business Alliance, we have the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary team. They come together to form Jackson Festivals Inc. and they put this awesome event on."  

There will also be wood carving and an auction, sweet corn and great food.
