2025 Mississippi Makers Fest
May 10 @ 10:00 am - 8:00 pm
Country and rock singer and “American Idol” finalist Colin Stough will headline the 2025 Mississippi Makers Fest – a free music, food, and arts festival sponsored by Nissan. The annual event will take place at the Two Mississippi Museums on the Entergy Plaza in downtown Jackson on Saturday, May 10.
Stough, whose sound is a distinctive mix of Southern rock distortion and pure-country style, will share the stage with American folk rock band HAPPY LANDING, blues artist Jamell Richardson, and bluegrass band The BTJ Trio. All four acts are Mississippi natives.
More than 50 vendors and food trucks will set up outside the Two Mississippi Museums during the festival dedicated to celebrating Mississippi’s creativity in its finest forms. Handcrafted pottery, paintings, handmade woodwork, jewelry, and more will be sold by local vendors. At Mini Makers, located inside the Two Mississippi Museums, children will create make-and-take crafts, among other activities.
Other sponsors include Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi, AT&T, The Foundation for Mississippi History, StateStreetGroup, Mississippi Arts Commission, Visit Mississippi, and Lucid Ink Printing.
