Jackson's Annual Crawdad Festival
At the fairgrounds, which are just down the hill behind the old capitol building, Jackson hosts an annual festival of music and crawdad eating that is very popular among the young folk living in the area. I didn't have time to go, but I did spend a few minutes talking to the teenagers there. The music was mostly heavy metal and blues, I think. A link to a myspace.com page with sample music is provided below. Prices are shown on the photo of the ticket.
