Free means free
No cover, no admission, no minimum — events whose organizers state free entry. Paid events never backfill this page, whatever it does to the count.

Free things to do in Jackson, strictly defined
This page holds a hard line: events appear only when the source itself says free — led by Jackson Hinds Library branches. When inventory is thin, the page says so rather than padding with cheap-but-paid events.
Where free lives in Jackson
Libraries, parks, and community calendars generate most of it — Jackson Hinds Library branches anchors the recurring base.
Registration still matters
Free often still means limited seats; each card links its source so you can register or confirm capacity before showing up.
