The Homecoming is held each year on the site of the old Hopson Plantation and began with the dedication of the Pinetop Perkins Shack at the Shack Up Inn in October 2001. It became an annual event to honor Pinetop who had spent World War II on the grounds of Hopson’s driving one of the frst mechanized cotton picking machines.
The event quickly drew many fans and musicians each year who stopped by on the Sunday after the King Biscuit Festival to honor Pinetop. The celebration now attracts over 1000 fans to three stages of music on these Sunday afternoons.
Since 2009 all the proceeds have gone directly to scholarships for youth to attend the Pinetop Perkins Master Class.
