The annual calendar
Every Year in Jefferson City
Some things in this town you can set your calendar by. Porchfest fills a neighborhood's front porches twice a year, the Jaycees have been putting a Christmas parade down High Street for more than 80 years, and the Fourth of July ends with fireworks over the Capitol dome. Here are the big ones, month by month: what each one is, when it usually happens and, once it is announced, the next date.
