This year’s Lucille Ball Comedy Festival will have no shortage of activities for area and visiting attendees.

The four-day festival, which kicks off today and runs through Sunday, is chock full of events that will be hosted in Jamestown and the surrounding area – all in the name of comedy.

Always known for its attention-grabbing headlining acts, this year’s festival will not disappoint. Following on the heels of performances given by Jay Leno in 2014 and Jerry Seinfeld last year, the 2016 installation will feature three prominent comedians currently performing in the national spotlight: Lewis Black, who will perform Thursday at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts at 7:30 p.m.; Trevor Noah, who will perform Friday at the Reg Lenna at 8:30 p.m.; and Brian Regan, who will perform Saturday at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena at 8:30 p.m.

But the opportunities don’t end there. There are daily offerings that include bus tours today, Friday and Saturday; tours through Lakeview Cemetery, where Ball is interred, on Friday and Saturday; a silent auction that runs from 10 a.m. today through 2 p.m. Saturday; walking tours through Jamestown on Friday and Saturday; and a special anniversary exhibit at the Dykeman-Young Gallery and Vintage Emporium from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. today through Saturday, as well as noon-4 p.m. Sunday, celebrating the 65th anniversary of “I Love Lucy.”

Special events will commence today.
