Vicksburg, Mississippi

Historic Highway 61 (Blues Highway)

100 Artists
Deadline: June 30, 2025

Application fee: $30/Booth fee $350

Artists will showcase their work on the historic Blues Highway (Hwy. 61) in downtown Vicksburg, MS. The downtown’s beautiful brick streets are also brimming with clothing boutiques, specialty shops, and antique stores. 

13581638668?profile=RESIZE_710xVicksburg, Mississippi is the quintessential river city, serving as the region’s center of commerce and culture for nearly 200 years. With a commanding view of the Mississippi River, Vicksburg is The Key to the South, a place where art, history and culture are on full display in several museums, art galleries, and more than 1,000 historic monuments.

The downtown’s beautiful brick streets are also brimming with clothing boutiques, specialty shops, and antique stores. Fine flavors of the South, both old and new, can be found at several eateries throughout the city. In addition, live music aficionados can sample Mississippi Delta Blues, country, jazz, or rock ‘n roll at multiple venues, and those who want to try their luck can check out gaming, entertainment, and dining at one of Vicksburg’s four waterfront casinos.

Into this setting of Vicksburg as a shopping, dining, and vibrant hub for the arts will be the Vicksburg Hipstoric Art Festival, the new signature event for the city. The show will present artists and their work against the splendid setting of the vibrant, hip, and historic downtown area, during glorious fall weather and the dryest time of the year in Mississippi.

The timing of the Vicksburg Hipstoric Art Festival works well for routing with some of the fall shows in the South including the Cottonwood Art Festival near Dallas, Bayou City Art Festival in Houston, and RiverArtsFest in Memphis.
