Clarksdale, Mississippi is where I was raised and truly fits the definition of “small town.” As the “home of the Delta Blues,” Clarksdale is a mecca for those interested in the source of genuine blues music. People come from all over the world to immerse themselves in the unique culture of the Mississippi Delta and listen to the “real” blues (not that imitation “wannabe” blues you hear in big city bars and night clubs). Here are some of the great things Clarksdale has to offer to visitors…
Places of interest:
Isle of Capri Casino (Lula, MS)
Fine Southern Cuisine:
GOOD EATS:
COMING SOON…
The Crossroads Hotel Complex… A theme-roomed boutique Hotel, Wellness Spa, and Blues Entertainment Venue at Highways 61 & 49, Clarksdale, Mississippi. A reasonably priced resort offering guests Southern Cuisine and Hospitality, while hosting various Blues Events including festivals, concerts, late-night jazz acts, and gospel music with both local and international artists invited to play. Other offerings will include Mississippi Blues Trail Tours, a Crossroads Music School, mentoring programs in local schools, and more!
