More than 300 applications were made for street closures across Wales - 100 more than for last year's Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton and there are community events planned over the bank holiday weekend.
However bad weather conditions has forced some events to be postponed.
Some anti-monarchist events are also planned around the region.
In Rhondda Cynon Taf in south Wales communities are expected to celebrate at 58 parties while a castle picnic and a proms in the park is being staged at Powys castle near Welshpool.
In Carmarthenshire, a fireworks display will be held at the Prince Charles' Welsh home, Llwynywermod, near Myddfai.
But the Trelawnyd carnival event in Flintshire has been postponed because of the weather on Sunday and it will now be staged on Monday at 13:00 BST.
The village of Rhosneigr on Anglesey, close to the home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, is staging a four-day Diamond Jubilee celebration like one held there in 1953 to mark the Queen's coronation.
There was a craft exhibition in the village hall on Saturday with entertainment in the evening, but on Sunday a planned beach party was rained off.
However, hundreds of people have gathered for a Big Jubilee Lunch event at the village hall, and are being serenaded by a local band.
Among the people celebrating is Penny Stoneman who remembers the village's coronation celebrations in 1953, when a golden coach paraded through the streets.
She said Sunday's celebrations had brought mixed emotions as she remembered the years that had gone by.
Later, there might be a flypast from 22 Squadron based at RAF Valley, where Prince William is an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot.
Members of the prince's flight and maintenance crews live in the area.
