This festival combines an international “blues festival” with a community-minded “small-town fair,” creating a strong and memorable event like no other in the universe. It’s organized by the Clarksdale Downtown Development Association (CDDA) and staffed by enthusiastic volunteers. This “half small-town fair, half blues festival” does more than simply entertain attendees. It aims to educate and enlighten native Deltans and blues tourists alike through a series of performances, exhibits, and presentations involving music, art, storytelling, film, and children’s events. The event mixes visitors with locals and showcases the economic power of cultural tourism, turning average Deltans into ambassadors for the region.
For a complete listing of events (and it’s quite a list!), check out the Juke Joint Festival events page at www.jukejointfestival.com/fest_events.php At this festival there is definitely something for everyone from the youngest to the oldest. Come see Clarksdale at its best.
