Jackson, Mississippi!
We are honored that you have chosen to visit Jackson—Mississippi’s
Capital City. We know that you could have chosen numerous destinations for your meeting, convention, sporting event, reunion,
historic tour or weekend getaway. However, we are glad you chose us!
If you want to know about Jackson’s vibrant music scene, just ask
Bobby Rush, Dorothy Moore, David Banner, LeAnn Rimes, Cassandra
Wilson, The Mississippi Mass Choir or Bruno Mars. We have it
all—blues, rock, rhythm & blues, gospel, country and classical.
As you discover our city, don’t miss the opportunity to experience
Jackson’s rich cultural heritage and diverse sporting events. Here,
there is something for everyone. From our vast culinary offerings to
our rich architecture, arts and history, your Jackson experience will
excite your senses and soothe your soul.
As you interact with Jacksonians and members of the Jackson
Visitors Industry, it won’t take you long to understand why they call
us the “City with Soul.” In Jackson, we work, play and live with
passion, grace and heart. More than that, the artists, musicians,
teachers, restaurateurs, doctors, lawyers, business people, hotel
owners, moms, pops, bakers and the candlestick makers who call
this place home typically go out of their way to make it actually feel
like home. In Jackson, hospitality isn’t just an industry; it’s a way of life.
Jackson’s eclectic food scene features our world famous fried
catfish, soul food and Cajun influenced, upscale cuisine that will
satisfy even the most discerning taste buds.
After a good meal, take in one of our world-class cultural events,
such as the International Ballet Competition & Jackson Ballet,
Mississippi Symphony Orchestra or our professional performing arts
center, New Stage Theatre. We are proud of our city’s historical
landmarks and attractions, including the Medgar Evers Home, the
Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum, Smith Robertson
Museum & Cultural Center, Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
and the International Museum of Muslim Cultures.
There is always something to do in Jackson; our “Season of
Festivals” features special, annual events and festivals that attract
international visitors all year long. Check out the events section to
see what’s occurring while you are here.
While you’re here, please let us know of anything we can do to
enhance your stay.

ABOUT THE COVER
With its electrifying performances,
Jackson State University’s internationally renowned Sonic Boom of the South
epitomizes the soul of Jackson, a city
rooted in blues, gospel and jazz. The captivating band mixes up-tempo shuffles
with soul-stirring sounds. Propelled by
Motown’s “Get Ready,” the high-intensity Boom lifts off with thunderous beats
that rev up and thrust fans from their
seat to their feet.

Slow & Steady Saturday
9:30 a.m. >>> Wake up and get to Sneaky Beans for
breakfast, which is served from 9-11 a.m., or until it
runs out. Sneaky Beans is a great spot and hosts many
music events, but on Saturday mornings it’s all about
the biscuits….Byron’s Biscuits. Sneaky Beans also
serves up quiches, omelets, grits and more.
10:30 a.m. >>> After breakfast, take your coffee to go
and stroll around. Explore the Fondren Corner building,
which is filled with local shops. Visit Swell-O-Phonic
for an array of locally made t-shirts; stop in Fondren Guitars
and prepare to be inspired; grab something sweet at La
Brioche; the possibilities are endless.
11:30 a.m. >>> Before heading out of Fondren, go
take a look at The Rainbow Co-op. Whether you buy
anything or not, it’s such an interesting grocery and the
staff knows their stuff! Rainbow also consists of the High

tours of the brewery along with delicious tastings of

recently had the Hot Coffee.) Every Second Saturday is
“Sippin’ Saturday” where they will have tours and music!
If you prefer cocktails to brews, head downtown and take
a tour of Cathead Distillery. Cathead recently moved
their operations from Gluckstadt to downtown, and
their new space is a definite hit.

IN THE HEART OF JACKSON LIES A HAVEN FOR ARTISTS, A WALKABLE
HISTORIC DISTRICT AND CUISINE THAT MAKES JACKSON A CULINARY
DESTINATION. Fondren is buzzing. Come see what you’re missing in this funky,
throwback neighborhood that’s chock-full of energy and excitement.
It’s here that you’ll stumble upon bright people, bright buildings and
bright vision. Local love abounds and it’s apparent in the support of
Jacksonian-owned boutiques, restaurants, galleries, coffee shops and
watering holes. Once home to the Mississippi Lunatic Asylum, an area known
as Asylum Heights, Fondren is a place where expression and eccentricities
are celebrated. The National Park Service recently listed Fondren’s historic
district on the National Register of Historic Places.
THERE IS NEVER A SHORTAGE OF THINGS TO DO AND SEE IN
JACKSON’S FUNKIEST NEIGHBORHOOD.
SHOP Whether you’re in the market for original work by local artists or
the hippest clothing around, you’ve come to the right place. Visit Brown’s
Fine Art or Fondren Art Gallery for pieces carefully crafted by local artists.
Head to Blithe and Vine for the most effortlessly cool styles for women,
and to Swell-O-Phonic for clever tees and cool shoes. When it comes to
antiques and interiors, Nancy Price Interior Design and Interiors Market
don’t disappoint.
DINE Whether it’s grabbing tacos at Babalu Tacos & Tapas or delving
into redfish at Walker’s Drive-In, there’s always something cooking in
Fondren. Pop in to The Pig & Pint for a chef twist on tasty barbecue, to Sal
& Mookie’s for tasty New York-style pizza, or into Brent’s Drugs, recently
named one of Vogue’s Top 7 Diners in the US and Jackson’s oldest soda
fountain, for a creamy milkshake or malt. Campbell’s bakery has long been
known for its almond teacakes and Saltine is the new hot spot for fresh
oysters. The possibilities are endless, so head to Fondren with an appetite!
DO There’s always something happening in Fondren. Start the day with
a cup of locally roasted joe at Cups Espresso Café or Sneaky Beans. More
nights than not, you can find live music presented by Ardenland at Duling
Hall, a renovated school building that’s also home to a handful of
neighborhood businesses. Get the night started or have a night cap at
Fondren Public, where beer abounds; a glass of wine at Caet, a sophisticated spot for sipping; or a classic cocktail at The Apothecary, a
speakeasy-style bar in the back of Brent’s Drugs. Shake a leg at Salsa
Mississippi, a local dance studio.
Excitement is an everyday thing in Fondren, where you’ll find events
happening on the regular. Experience Fondren’s First Thursday, held
the first Thursday in each month from March to December. Join in on
the fun as the area comes to life with live music, gallery openings and
more. Don’t miss the 6th annual Zippity Doo Dah® weekend April 1-2,
2016. Here, you’ll meet the world-famous Sweet Potato Queens and
their fearless leader, Jill Conner Browne, marching Clydesdales, and a
bevy of fun, all benefitting our state-of-the-art children’s hospital, Blair E.
Batson.

the ground, Capitol Street has had new
life, and the ripple effect is felt across
downtown.
In the 1950s, Capitol Street was the place to be. Shoppers, diners and moviegoers
would crowd the sidewalks with a flurry of activity. Often referred to as Mississippi’s main drag, Capitol Street served as a gathering spot for Jacksonians and
visitors alike.
When suburban shopping began to take hold, many businesses moved out
of downtown Jackson, making the once bustling hub quieter. This Jackson gem
sat somewhat forgotten for years… until now. Like a sprout shooting out of

For over 40 years, the historic King
Edward Hotel sat vacant and forgotten.
In December 2006, Watkins Partners,
former New Orleans Saints running back
Deuce McAllister and Historic Restoration, Incorporated, breathed new life
into this treasure. The restoration was
completed in 2009 and doors opened as
the Hilton Garden Inn Jackson Downtown. Now, the King Edward features
186 guest rooms and suites, 64 luxury
apartments, the King Edward Grill, King
Edward Bar, Pavilion Pantry convenience

Take a tour of the Old Capitol Museum, the
anchor of the street, to learn more about the
Mississippi of days gone by and to experience the beautiful restoration that took place
following damage by Hurricane Katrina.
Further down Capitol Street is Parlor Market,
a restaurant opened by the late Chef Craig
Noone in 2010. Parlor Market serves upscale
seasonal Southern cuisine in the heart of
downtown Jackson. Fresh sushi can be found
nearby at Wasabi.
Once you’ve seen and tasted it all along Capitol
Street, venture off the side streets for even
more downtown excitement.
Visit Hal & Mal’s for live music and downhome Southern cooking, Keifer’s for Greek
goodness or Jaco’s Tacos for casual Mexican
fare. With over 30 restaurants, bars and coffee
shops, downtown has a lot to offer.
>>
Several events draw crowds to the Capitol Street area each year,
including the PM Burger festival pictured. Discover more downtown
happenings in the Calendar of Events listing on page 53.
The Jackson Convention Complex offers 330,000 square feet of flexible
exhibit, ballroom and meeting space for concerts, seminars, balls, conventions or wedding receptions. Often, you’ll find concerts, sporting
events and great shows waiting just inside JCC’s doors.
Just a hop, skip and jump away sits the Mississippi Museum of Art. The
state-of-the-art museum houses a permanent collection and is architecturally designed to become a symbolic “museum without walls.” MMA is
home to a breathtaking Art Garden, a 1.2-acre public green space
complete with outdoor art installations, the sprawling BankPlus Green, a
performance stage and various spaces for visitors to engage with the arts
in a variety of forms. The museum is also home to The Palette Café, which
offers a creative menu crafted by Executive Chef and Culinary Curator
Nick Wallace.

Muslim cultures.

In the City with Soul, our culture bleeds blue.
The world famous Delta Blues sprouted
from Mississippi’s rich soil and in Jackson,
we celebrate that heritage accordingly. In
fact, we are home to more historical markers
celebrating blues heritage than anywhere
else in the state. You’ll find places all around
town to catch the blues, day or night. Did
you know that Jackson has a historic blues
recording studio now under renovation? Have
you ever wanted to take a private music
lesson with a genuine Mississippi bluesman?
You’re in the right place.
24 |
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE HISTORIC LANDMARKS:
Take a trip down the Jackson portion of the Mississippi Blues Trail, where historic markers commemorate individuals and sites that pay homage to
this legacy. The Mississippi Blues Trail is composed
of more than 100 historical markers and interpretive
sites located throughout the state. Jackson currently
has twelve markers, more than any other city on the
trail.
After dark, duck into one of the local hot spots like
F. Jones Corner, The Iron Horse Grill or Hal &
Mal’s, where you can spend the evening indulging in the “Blue Monday” special, and discover
what exactly the fuss is all about. Spend the night
catching the blues—opportunities abound in Jackson!
Take a drive through the Historic Farish Street District,
which once served as the cultural and business
hub for Jackson’s African American community, now
under development as Jackson’s newest entertainment district. While you’re cruising around Jackson,
tune in to AM 1400 or 90.1 FM for a hefty helping
of Blues tunes.
Alamo Theater 333 N. Farish St.
This theater once hosted vaudeville shows, movies, touring jazz
acts and a weekly talent contest. Native Jacksonian Dorothy
Moore of “Misty Blue” fame was a frequent winner and you can still
see her perform around town today. Nat King Cole was performing
at the Alamo when he got the news that his daughter Natalie was
born.
Record Mart (and Trumpet Record Company and
Diamond Recording Studio) 309 N. Farish St.
What began as a furniture store had its fate change when the
owner’s wife, Lillian McMurry, first heard Wynonie Harris’ “All She
Wants to Do is Rock.” Lillian began ordering and selling blues and
gospel records from her husband’s store, and the record department soon consumed the store. Lillian founded the Trumpet
label and began recording music. She was the first to record Sonny
Boy Williamson II and later produced the majority of his hits.
SPEIR PHONOGRAPH COMPANY 225 N. Farish St.
H.C. Speir, a Caucasian shop owner, traveled the South as a talent
scout in the 1920s and 1930s, finding blues artists for record
companies. Charley Patton, Skip James and Willie Brown were

Producer Johnny Vincent established Ace in 1955 to record New
Orleans artists Earl King, Huey “Piano” Smith and Bobby Marchand.
Big Apple Inn 509 N. Farish St.
Sonny Boy Williamson II and his wife Mattie lived in the upstairs
apartment of the Big Apple Inn during the years he was recording at Trumpet. Later, that apartment became state headquarters for the NAACP where civil rights leader Medgar Evers worked
as a state field secretary before his murder at age 36. Once known
as Big John’s, Big Apple Inn is famous for its “Smokes,” minced
sausage sandwiches, and pig ear sandwiches, hamburgers, hot
dogs and tamales.
Birdland 538 Farish St.
Once known as the Crystal Palace, touring jazz and R&B acts
frequented this spot. The original name is still visible in fading
paint on the brick wall on the building’s south side.
Once you’ve officially caught the blues bug, chase it away with
fare that rivals any other. We’ve got Southern soul food at its
finest. Whether it’s the Big Apple Inn’s pig ear sandwich, Hal &
Mal’s Blue Monday plate, Bully’s oxtails or barbecue from E&L,
you won’t have the Blues for long, but rather, a full taste of what
Jackson is all about.

Bobby Rush
Bobby Rush is a Grammy-nominated bluesman known
as “The King of the Chitlin Circuit.” Bobby has called
Jackson home for 30 years and is one of the area’s most
prolific songwriters and energetic live performers.
WHERE’S YOUR FAVORITE HOT SPOT FOR HEARING
THE SOUL THAT MAKES UP THE AREA’S MUSIC?
Hal & Mal’s downtown is the place to go on Monday
nights. The Central MS Blues Society, Inc., sponsors
“Blue Monday,” and each week features a variety of upand-coming and polished blues performers. It’s a great
way to discover new talent, enjoy local favorites and
keep the blues alive. Duling Hall also always has great shows
coming to town.
WE LIKE TO PARTY, AND MUSIC FESTIVALS
ARE THE BEST PLACE TO DO THAT. WHAT ARE
YOUR FAVORITE FESTIVALS?
The Jackson Rhythm and Blues Festival is always a good
time with great music.
WHAT JACKSON TALENT IS OUT THERE THAT WE
JUST NEED TO KNOW ABOUT?
Jesse Robinson, Stevie J, Grady Champion and Mr. Sipp
are all good cats that know how to bring it. You can find
them all over playing.
The Civil Rights movement makes up much of Jackson’s history. What was a dark time is a
time we look back on in reverence and remembrance, celebrating the leaders who paved
the way for our city, state and country to enter into the future. Evidence of this trailblazing is everywhere you look. From the proud civil rights legacy of Medgar Evers to the
turn-of-the-century architecture that graces the campus of Tougaloo College, AfricanAmerican heritage is celebrated.
Unless you lived it, it’s hard to understand the history of African Americans in the Deep
South. Inside the Smith Robertson Museum and Cultural Center, located steps away from
the State Capitol building, you’ll find art and artifacts that displays the contributions of
African Americans to not only our history, but also our present-day culture.
The Margaret Walker Center on the campus of Jackson State University is a museum
dedicated to the preservation, interpretation and dissemination of African-American
history and culture. Founded by Margaret Walker in 1968, the center is home to significant

records like the papers of the late Margaret Walker; those of
the former US Secretary of Education Roderick Paige; and a large
oral history department that consists of nearly 2,000 interviews.
See firsthand the place where history happened at the Evers
family home, the site of the assassination of Civil Rights
leader Medgar Evers in 1963. Tougaloo College operates this
museum that contains period furnishings, exhibits and family
photographs. The Evers home was used in the film, Ghosts of
Mississippi, which tells the story of the 1994 retrial and
conviction of Evers’ murderer, Byron de la Beckwith.
While downtown, you can pass by the historic Greyhound
bus station that served as the site of the day in 1961 when
Jackson attracted national attention. Black and white students,
the Freedom Riders, were arrested at the station for standing
up for challenging the color line.
Join us as we celebrate how far we’ve come and as we look
toward an even more united future.
Minnie White Watson is an archivist at Tougaloo College and curator for the Medgar Evers Historical
House here in Jackson. She grew up in Jackson, attended Jackson State University and has called the
City with Soul home ever since.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS IN JACKSON?
Jackson is a great city with lots of interesting places to visit, sites to see and things
to do. I always love to go to the Farish Street Heritage Festival. It’s the
second-oldest African American community festival in the state, and features
live performers, children’s activities and soul food. The Lynch Street Festival and
Evening of Blues at the Zoo are other favorites. A visit to the Jackson Zoo always
brings out the kid in me.
Minnie White Watson
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SPOT ON HISTORIC FARISH STREET?
When Farish Street was a thriving, bustling district for shopping, various businesses
and entertainment, it was one of my favorite places to visit. Now, I still love to
frequent the Alamo Theater to attend various functions and Evenings of Entertainment. The Farish Street District is now under
development to reemerge as the city’s newest entertainment district, and I’m so excited to see the area regain its place in the spotlight.
WHAT DO YOU FIND YOUR VISITORS LOVE MOST ABOUT JACKSON?
I always hear compliments about Jackson’s hospitality and the friendliness of its citizens every time visitors come see us.

T H E LeFleur Museum District
When good things come together, great
things happen. When those great things
bring people together, wonderful things
happen. The LeFleur Museum District,
nestled in the heart of Jackson, does exactly
that and offers a place that is certainly full
of wonder. Four distinctively remarkable
museums are at home in the LeFleur Museum
District and lend opportunity for learning
and discovery for kids of all ages, even those
well into their nineties. The first thing you’ll
wonder is where in the world to begin.
This is the place to create memories galore.
This is where you can dive into sports
history or an interactive map of Mississippi.
Relive the nostalgia of small-town agricultural life or have hands-on fun with our
state’s living creatures.
32 |
>> MISSISSIPPI AGRICULTURAL & FORESTRY MUSEUM
Agriculture is a large part of Mississippi’s past and
present. The state’s rich and deep soil is naturally suited
for bounty. This heritage of agriculture is celebrated
at the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Museum.
Here, you can explore Small Town, Mississippi, an
experience reminiscent of days gone by. Stroll the
dirt roads, have a glass-bottle coke at the general store,
peek into the local doctor’s office, and see the Bisland
cotton gin, which still operates during special events.
You’ll discover how Mississippi farmers lived, worked
and shaped our state’s economy.

of Natural Science, dive into investigating Mississippi’s
natural landscape and its inhabitants. The museum
was named the 2014 Escape to the Southeast Travel
Attraction of the Year Shining Example by the Southeast Tourism Society. Here, you’ll come face to face
with live alligators, snakes, snapping turtles, 200
species of native fish and other fascinating living
creatures. Enjoy Mississippi’s great outdoors and landscape through the vast expanses of glass overlooking
a 300-acre natural landscape, an open-air amphitheater and along the 2.5-mile hiking trail that snakes
around the museum.
Mississippi has a rich sports history and is proud to be
home to athletes that have won Olympic medals, Super
Bowl MVP trophies, World Series titles, NBA Championships and so much more. These legends live forever at
the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. From
Cool Papa Bell to Dizzy Dean, Boo Ferriss, Walter Payton
and Brett Favre; over 300 of Mississippi’s—and in several
cases the world’s—greatest athletes come to life in this
interactive museum. Step into the game in the Hall of
Fame Stadium and become the quarterback, the pitcher,
the point guard or even the broadcast announcer. As
you test your reflexes or race against the clock, you’ll see
that the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum
is a place for the young and young-at-heart.

It’s no secret that culture abounds in the City with Soul. From theater and symphonies to blues and jazz, we’ve
got it all. We know full well how to have a good time and that, more often than not, involves good music, a

Chef Matthew Kajdan began his professional career at Jackson’s own Bravo! Italian Restaurant, where
he learned under Chefs Louis Larose and Dan Blumenthal. Now, he is the Executive Chef of a
downtown favorite, Parlor Market, where he gets his kicks off of serving new twists on Southern food.
His progressive ideas use local products in a commitment farm-to-table cuisine.
Matthew Kajdan
JACKSON IS A DIVERSE MELTING POT.
WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE SPOT TO
ENJOY ETHNIC FOOD?
WHEN YOU VENTURE OFF THE BEATEN PATH,
WHAT HIDDEN SPOTS DO YOU FIND
YOURSELF DIGGING IN?
Edo Japanese on Ridgewood Road near the
Beasley/Atkins exit has some of the best sushi
around. They have great specials and creative
chefs. It's a family-run restaurant with great
service.
You should try the Big Apple Inn. It’s in downtown
Jackson on Farish Street. The restaurant has been
in its location for 50 years and once housed
Medgar Evers’ office right above it. The Big Apple
Inn is known for its "smokes and ears," so if you
happen to be downtown for lunch, go check it out!
WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO ESTABLISHMENT FOR A QUALITY, CASUAL
DINING EXPERIENCE?
Lou's Full Serv off of Fortification in the historic Belhaven neighborhood is a
relatively new restaurant to Jackson but the chef, Louis Larose, is one of the best
in town. He has great blue-plate specials for lunch and high-end entrees in the
evening without the high-end prices.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICONIC JACKSON RESTAURANT?
Walker's Drive-In is probably one of the most iconic restaurants in
Jackson. It has been here for decades, but really hit its stride with Derek
Emerson as owner and chef. It's the perfect place to bring someone for a
first date or a special occasion. The food is some of the best in town and all
of the locals know it, so make sure you call ahead and get a reservation.
WHAT’S THE BEST BREAKFAST SPOT
IN JACKSON?
One of the best breakfast spots in Jackson is
Brent’s Drugs in Fondren. They start serving
breakfast at 10 a.m. and they have some great
pancakes and French toast with all the fixings
you can imagine. The only problem is that you’ll
want to stay for ice cream or a malt after. Plan on
taking a mid-day nap if you have Brent’s for
breakfast!
