13th Annual Juke Joint Festival

From 13th Annual Juke Joint Festival Website:

What is the JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL? Its a positive event for everyone in Clarksdale. Its good for families, businesses, musicians and tourists alike. The festival itself combines an international blues festival with a community-minded small-town fair, creating a strong and memorable event like no other in the universe. Its 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 -- though it definitely does that, too! 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 childrens events. The event mixes visitors with locals and showcases the economic power of cultural tourism, turning average Deltans into ambassadors for the region.
