Perseverance and a triumphant spirit... Jackson: she’s birthed many historical marks that have shaped this country and beyond, from Civil Rights to Civil War, to music, world-class museums and exhibits, thriving festivals and events, award-winning attractions to James Beard Foundation chefs and restaurants. Jackson is home to a multitude of world-class painters, sculptors, dancers, actors, architects, photographers, filmmakers, artisans and musicians - classical to inspirational, home-grown gospel, blues, jazz, rock ‘n roll, R&B and more. Changing seasons offer numerous fall and holiday events rich with tradition, surprising spring flings for shaking off winter’s chill and laid back summer celebrations that detour off the fast lane. A place for a weekend getaway, family fun, a group tour, a reunion, a convention or a small business meeting: in Jackson, you’ll fall in love, losing your heart, finding your soul.
