Festivals in Jackson

There are 2 festivals in Jackson this weekend, one in Fondren and one in Belhaven. On Friday night, Rainbow Whole Foods will host a benefit for the Video Cafe beginning at 8:00.
Here are the details:
On Friday, August 19th at 8 PM, the Rainbow Plaza will be hoppin' with local acts: Circus of the Seed (3rd favorite Jackson Band in JFP's 2004 reader's poll), and Alexander's Dark Heart. There will be food, prepared by High Noon chef Domini and Video Cafe chef Sandy, drinks, and dancing. There will also be a movie trivia game show for you movie buffs, so come test your skills. This is an all-ages event so don't think you're too old to come out and enjoy some socializing for a good cause. The cost is only $5 and it starts at 8pm.

At 5:30 p.m., on Saturday, August 20, the Greater Belhaven Main Street Program will launch Bright Lights, Belhaven Nights, a summertime street festival promoting the unique, historic neighborhood. Local favorite King Elementary will be playing at the McDade’s Parking Lot Stage from 8-9. Click here for the full schedule.

It should be a fun weekend in Jackson. I encourage everyone to support these 2 homegrown festivals.
