April 2019. Jackson, Mississippi
We attended this Highland Games and Celtic Festival this year and we will be going back again in 2019. The site is quite interesting. The event is held at an Aggriculture and Forestry Museum. The museum has old steam powered equipment like sawmills, steam powered farm equipment, animal powered sugar cane mills, a blacksmith shop, and livestock to include Highland coos and goats.There is live music, dancing, Whiskey tasting, vendors, food, etc.. The festival is enjoyable. I'm afraid that there are no pipe bands that attend, but I would love to see one show up. If I recall correctly, there are 3 stages with live music all day during this weekend event.
Come on down to Jackson, Mississippi for some Celtic flair and southern hospitality.
I was born and raised in Jackson but never knew there was a highland games event there. Perhaps next year. It's sounds like an awesome reason for me visit home for a few days.
Is the Ag and Forestry Museum across the street from the Colosseum?
