Experience the National Folk Festival in Jackson! From November 7–9, 2025, downtown will come alive with music, dance, crafts, food, and culture in a three-day, free-to-the-public celebration.
As the host city for a three-year residency (2025–2027), Jackson will welcome tens of thousands of visitors each year to enjoy a diverse range of traditions. From blues, bluegrass, and gospel to storytelling, folk dance, and handmade crafts, the festival showcases the cultural richness of communities across the country.
The National Folk Festival is an opportunity to strengthen Downtown Jackson, spark economic growth, and bring people together.
