Mississippi Tourism

I haven't gotten one of their tourism updates for awhile.  Perhaps a summer vacation in Mississippi to hear the blues would be good for you!

April 1, 2011 Enter to win the Delta Backroads & Blues Getaway, a three-day freewheeling adventure for two through the magnificent Mississippi Delta. You'll savor Mississippi soul food, relax in the best in Southern hospitality accommodations and enjoy a performance by the blues king himself - B.B. King. Head to the Mississippi Delta, where festival season is in full swing from April 'til October. Join the party as the Delta celebrates everything from racing catfish to authentic juke joints, barbecue to international cuisine, fine arts to the mighty Mississippi River, and of course, the born-in-the-Delta blues that made this little ol' area famous worldwide. From April through June there's a festival almost every weekend. And hey, it's the Delta - if there's not a celebration in progress when you arrive, you're more than welcome to start your own. So what are you waiting for? Head for the Delta, where the party's already waiting for you.
