Arts Alive will take place May 4-5 at Smith Park in Downtown Jackson.

The music, arts and crafts festival is a free festival that promotes both performing and visual arts. It also stimulates the Jackson Metro area to support and boost downtown and it raises awareness of homelessness and supports local charitable organizations such as Stewpot Ministries.

It’s hosted by Galloway United Methodist Church, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral, and Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle
