Downtown Jackson Partners

The first signature project to come out of the Urban Studio. Congratulations to our talented Mississippi State University School of Architecture students on their vision and presentation!

We're going full-on Mississippi TONIGHT!! Kick the weekend off early in a BIG way with two great bands, hailing from the Magnolia State: Grits & Greens from the Hub City and opening for them, JT McCaffrey Music from southwest Mississippi. And in keeping with the theme, some good Southern style food will be available from Shivers Creek Fish House's food truck and the Mayflower Cafe (place an order with them in advance for pickup).

Bar powered by Hal and Mal's-Jackson, MS and sponsored by Capital City Beverages, Inc. Bring your friends, your lawn chairs and your dancing shoes to historic Smith🌳Park! Sponsored by Huntington National Bank, and thanks to them and all of our supporters, the concerts are always FREE!

Here’s some vibes from our last concert!😆

Everyone showed OUT on Sunday, and Downtown Jackson Partners would like to just say THANK YOU to each and every one of you who believes in the power of and how music brings us together. Who better to bring that message home than The Wailers ™?

Special thanks to JSU’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble JSU Vocal Jazz Ensemble for coming up and sharing their gifts. It’s important that we remember that it is our youth who drive us forward.

DON’T FORGET! Tomorrow we are BACK in Smith Park for our Levitt AMP concert with Grits & Greens, and as the “worst kept secret” for this concert, we’ve got Shivers Creek Fishhouse coming up to serve us, Hal and Mal's-Jackson, MS powering the bar, with the drinks sponsored by Capital City Beverages, Inc. and the “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” deal you can order ahead, pick up from Mayflower Cafe, and bring over. So while you’re chomping on some catfish, fried chicken, and hushpuppies, get that lawn chair out of the car for the ultimate feel-good experience!

Don’t forget 😉

Wellness is for every body.

Grateful to everyone who met me on the mat this past Saturday for the second class of the Sipp&Stretch series. (🔗link in bio for email list) I don’t know how many times I heard “I needed this” but it is a sweet reminder that we all deserve time to be present in our bodies, mindful of our emotions, and willing to show up for ourselves.

We’ll be on our mats this Saturday, starting at 9:00 AM (ish 😂) at the green space right outside of Sippsi Good Tea. And then you can float your way over to Sippsi and grab a refreshing tea, stay for a while and yap with your folks or meet a stranger, then go into the weekend knowing your prioritized your wellbeing first.

Sipp&Stretch is a FREE yoga series as part of Downtown Jackson Partners Fall in Love with Downtown series. ✨

Can’t wait to meet you on the mat 🧘🏾‍♀️

We love having Capitol Street Sweets downtown! From ice cream to chocolates to gummy candies and cotton candy, retro sweets and inventive sodas, they’ve got your sweet tooth covered!
