This word is a compound made up of 'das Jubiläum' (anniversary), the linking element '-s-', and 'das Jahr' (year). So it is literally the year in which an anniversary takes place.

Our city is celebrating its 800-year existence and has declared the whole year an anniversary year.
The first part 'Jubiläums-' (anniversary) can be combined with many other nouns to form new words. This creates words such as 'die Jubiläumsfeier' (anniversary celebration), 'das Jubiläumsangebot' (anniversary offer), or 'die Jubiläumsausgabe' (anniversary edition).
Zum Jubiläum gibt es in vielen Geschäften besondere Jubiläumsangebote.
For the anniversary, many shops have special anniversary offers.
Common phrases are 'das Jubiläumsjahr feiern' (to celebrate the anniversary year) or saying that something 'im Jubiläumsjahr' (in the anniversary year) takes place. This often refers to special events such as festivals, concerts, or exhibitions.

'das Jubiläum' and 'das Jubiläumsjahr' are closely related, but they refer to different things. 'das Jubiläum' is the special anniversary or the celebration of it, for example after 25 or 50 years. 'das Jubiläumsjahr' is the whole year in which this anniversary is celebrated. So you can say: in the 'Jubiläumsjahr', there are many events for the 'Jubiläum'. The words are easy to confuse because both are used with celebrations and round-number anniversaries. If you mean the specific occasion or celebration, 'Jubiläum' fits. If you mean the longer period of time, 'Jubiläumsjahr' fits.
