Blues, country, rock 'n' roll. It all started right here. And on any given night, it's still going strong.

Fans come from around the world to sit down front and see the real thing - live and a-live - as we say! But there's more than music to Mississippi. There's every conceivable kind of celebration from the De Soto Country Fair and Rodeo to Cruisin' the Coast, which features hundreds of classic American cars and roadsters.
