Helping Kids—One Bail at a Time! Mar. 20th

The Kiwanis Club of Liberty County is excited to announce the return of its highly anticipated 2026 Jail ’N Bail fundraiser, taking place March 20th at the Historic Old Jail. This lively community tradition brings together local leaders, business owners, and public figures for a fun and impactful event designed to raise critical funds for children in our community. 

Attendees can enjoy entertainment, photo opportunities, food, local partnerships, and plenty of laughs as the community works together to “free” the inmates. This event is designed to bring people of all ages together in support of a meaningful cause that directly benefits Liberty County families.
