Family and community are a vital part of the Jackson Street
District. The Ridgeland First United Methodist Church will be hosting
kid-friendly activities and the Pavilion at Jackson St. and the railroad tracks
will be hosting a variety of entertainment from our community schools and
organizations.

Our evening entertainment takes on a blues theme as we premier the
new feature film “M for Mississippi”, a compelling and
entertaining documentary profiling 12 of Mississippi’s most talented, yet
largely unknown bluesmen. The film will show outdoors, “drive-in” style on the
20-foot outdoor movie screen behind Blaylock Fine Art Photography and Ro Chez.
We’ll have live blues from Bill Abel, Cadillac John and L.C. Ulmer, all featured
in the film. Bring your lawn chairs and leave ‘em for your dancin’
shoes.
