CLARKSDALE: 11th annual Clarksdale Film and Music Festival w/blues and more

Posted on by demo

YES! The 11th annual Clarksdale Film & Music Festival is “on” for January 29-31, 2021!

Watch for details at www.clarksdalefilmfestival.com… but expect a curated collection of Blues and Mississippi-connected films and more… plus “live” music performances and special workshops/panel discussions.

2021 PANDEMIC EDITION:
– Saturday DAYTIME INDOOR venue will be The Bank at E 2nd & Yazoo, downtown. If you’re healthy, then wash up, mask up and plan to attend. We’ll check temps at the door, socially distance the seating, keep surfaces clean, etc., in the large, spacious, well-ventilated The Bank venue.
– Friday and Saturday NIGHTTIME  OUTDOOR “venue” will be a special pop-up drive-in theater in a large parking lot downtown. If you’re healthy and don’t mind staying in your closed car, then plan to attend.

– Friday afternoon and Sunday will feature “live” music performances — with details to come.
TICKETING: Info coming soon to website.

Plan now, watch our website, and email roger@cathead.biz with questions.

CLARKSDALE: Juke Joint Festival and Related Events – MASKED AND PANDEMIC-LY MODIFIED

Posted on by demo

GOT MASK?
Willing to help keep others safe? Then… a smaller, smarter JUKE JOINT FESTIVAL 2021 is “on”!

Your favorite festival returns to your second home — Clarksdale, Mississippi — the long weekend of April 15-18 in 2021 (with main events that Saturday the 17th). BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.

If y’all are willing to properly mask up (indoors and out, even between bites and sips), socially-distance at all times, hand sanitize often, go through an occasional temperature check and agree to stay home if you’re sick… then plan now to attend this year’s smaller, socially-distanced, more outdoors, limited indoor capacity, PANDEMIC-LY MODIFIED Juke Joint Festival.

TOO MANY RULES FOR YOU? Then, please wait till 2022 (weekend of 4/23/22) to attend our nonprofit event. Our musicians, volunteers, businesses and community truly appreciate your thinking of us. Thanks. Y’all rock!

MORE DETAILS COMING on or around March 15th at jukejointfestival.com.
