Local planning guide
The holiday season in Jackson
From October's fall festivals and Halloween haunts through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, Happens.city gathers the whole season in Jackson, MS — haunted houses, markets, tree lightings, light displays, and seasonal shows — so every festive plan is in one place.
All season long
October's Halloween haunts and fall festivals, Thanksgiving-weekend season-openers, December markets and light displays, and New Year's celebrations are gathered together and kept current against local sources.
For every plan
Family light displays and trunk-or-treats, ticketed holiday concerts, and adult holiday parties are compared side by side with times, venues, and travel.
Straight from the source
Seasonal schedules change often. Each event links to an official venue or ticket page so you can confirm before you go.
