83rd National Folk Festival
2026 is the second year of the National Folk Festival's three-year residency in Jackson. With this programmatic support from the Smithsonian, this year's festival will honor some of the country's most acclaimed traditional artists; those with ties to Mississippi will be especially highlighted as a tribute to the state's immense contributions to American culture during this year's semiquincentennial celebrations.
