You've seen Clarksdale, Mississippi's Juke Joint Festival (JJF) on 60 Minutes and PBS NewsHour, and last year all 50 U.S. states and over two-dozen international countries experienced it! Don't miss out. Yes, there are dozens of FREE blues performances and family activities in addition to all of the street vendors (and even monkeys riding dogs and racing pigs) on the Saturday of JJF weekend, but there is also the world-famous Saturday-night juke joint crawl that requires a wristband. You do not want to miss it, and quantities are limited, so buy your wristbands ASAP.
EARLY PRE-SALE WRISTBANDS on sale January 1st for $40 and get you into all of our official participating Saturday-night, April 12, 2025, JJF venues. (In 2024, we had 24 Sat-night venues with over 30 acts, and we anticipate similar numbers for 2025. Our earliest venues start at 6pm.)
We recommend buying wristbands early, since Early Pre-sales are the cheapest option, and avoid another possible sellout.
NOTE: Early Pre-sales are only available online through this website. Limited quantities. Sales will end immediately in the case of another sellout. All sales are final. Absolutely no refunds, exchanges or transfers. (Sorry, but no exceptions.) No wristbands can be mailed; in-person pick-up only during the week of the festival (with printed email receipt and/or photo ID matching the order). More festival details are coming soon, and music/event lineups are typically posted by March 1st. Thanks, y'all!
