Clarksdale on the Morning of Juke Joint Fest’s Big Day @VisitClarksdale #jukejointfest

The Saturday of Juke Joint Festival is arguably Clarksdale’s biggest day of the year, but if you get there early enough and don’t mind a walk, parking is not that big a deal. I parked around the corner from Red’s Juke Joint, and walking past the Ground Zero club I ran into members of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock jazz band who were unloading their equipment for a performance at the club. Arts, crafts, food, games and music are the order of the day at Juke Joint Fest, and unlike Thursday night, which had been chilly, the weather on Saturday was warm and full of sunshine.
