Come and hear Delta Blues in a real juke joint. Only about an hour’s drive from Memphis, Clarksdale, Mississippi’s 11th annual Juke Joint Festival is “half blues festival, half small-town fair and all about the Delta.” The three-day event includes 100 blues acts, Southern cooking, tours of local historic sites, and student dancing by the Dancing Divas of the Delta. Come for the music but don’t miss the pig races!
