Later in the evening, Ground Zero Blues Club set up an outdoor stage next to their building, and a soul band from Cleveland was performing a lot of southern soul covers and drew a crowd. A couple of guys rode up on horseback! Only in Clarksdale!

The Main Stage next door to the Delta Blues Museum is the nerve center of the Sunflower River Blues and Gospel Festival. The stage featured several different kinds of music, and there was plenty of good food available from the many vendors.

Sunflower Avenue has fallen on hard times in recent years, although it used to be the center of Clarksdale blues tourism. There are a few signs of a renaissance though, including the new Lady at the Levee restaurant and the Quapaw Canoe Company, which offers tourists the opportunity to go canoeing on the Sunflower or Mississippi Rivers.
