Clarksdale's Juke Joint Festival April 18-20

This year's Juke Joint Festival & Related Events in Clarksdale are planned for Friday afternoon through Sunday evening, April 18-20, with the actual festival on April 19th.

"Deltans are proud of their region, so we try to showcase all we have to offer here," explains Nan Hughes, a key festival organizer. "That's why much of our music and entertainment is from the Delta and the South."

The festival will feature the ever-popular pig races, bluesmen, a 5K Run, student art show, mini film festival, history bus tours, turkey/duck contest, arts & crafts, petting zoo, rock wall, Segway course, music stages, and much more.
