Jackson International Food And Art Festival Celebrates 8 Years
Join us from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, Saturday, October 1, 2022, for the eighth annual Jackson International Food and Art Festival located on the Court Square in Downtown Jackson.
Food and art are important themes present in all cultures, countries, and religions, and the festival serves as a place for all cultures to share their cuisine, art, and traditional performances in downtown Jackson.
The free event will include:
- Parade of Cultures
- Food Booths (small fees for samples)
- Performances (Music, Demonstration, Dancing and, Storytelling)
- Booths (Merchandise or Business, Artists and Craftsman, Cultural Activities and Demonstrations)
The festival’s mission is to spread cultural awareness, promote cross-cultural engagement, and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of residents throughout West Tennessee. With a goal of reminding the community that despite differences in appearance, how we worship, or where we come from, there is far more that unites us than divides us.
