Jackson

Jackson, known as “The City With Soul,” is Mississippi’s capital and largest city. Jackson, named the Best City in Mississippi by AAA Southern Traveler Magazine, is known for its beautiful architecture, which ranges from the stunning Capitol building, which dates back to 1903, to the modest home of Medgar Evers, a slain civil rights worker. Life in this city is pulsing with music – gospel, blues, rock, jazz, classical, and everything in between – born of a rich artistic tradition. In Jackson, you’ll discover scores of distinctive museums and outdoor attractions, large numbers of events and festivals, three historic cultural districts, countless visual and performing arts, hot sports action, and awesome nightlife.
