Where are you going? Who are you supporting? 🎶

The weekend is here, and we thrive on spreading the word in Mississippi! Social media is a great resource for finding out what's happening, but we all know the algorithm doesn't show everyone the same things. The pages you follow may never pop up for someone else, and sometimes the newsfeed just isn't working in our favor.

That's where community comes in ❤️

Travelers want to know what's happening in your area. Weekend warriors are looking for a local spot. From festivals and songwriter rounds to open mics, talent nights, and full-blown concerts, we want to hear it all.

So get those flyers posted, tag those artists, and tell us what's happening from your corner of Mississippi. From the Coast to the Delta and everywhere in between, let's help people discover something new this week ✨
