That's a wrap on 2025 John Brown Jamboree! We have so many people to thank for everything from the months of organizing and numerous hours of volunteering their time, those who helped fund the events, Victory Chevrolet, City of Osawatomie, KS , Osawatomie Police Department , Osawatomie School District #367 , Brewers Automotive, John Brown Jamboree Committee, and all those attending! Events like these do not happen without community involvement, so consider getting involved with this and other community events to keep them going! If you have photos to share of any of the events, please feel free to share!

Since 1966, the John Brown Jamboree has been a staple celebration in rural Osawatomie. The family-friendly event pays homage to one of Osawatomie's founding fathers, a pre-Civil War abolitionist.
