The inaugural Mudbug Music Festival will take place on Saturday, May 15 at The Natchez Bluff. The festival will feature incredible live music, C&M Crawfish, a wide variety of food vendors complimented with cold beer, drinks, and cocktails, right along the Mississippi River. Gates will open at 1 pm, with music beginning at 3 pm.
The first Mudbug Music Festival’s lineup includes top-notch talent from Riley Green, Drivin N Cryin, Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience, Southern Avenue, and The B3. A little bit of country, southern rock, soul and zydeco, this event will entertain all!
“We are so excited that everything’s coming back to life in Natchez and the Mudbug Music Festival is going to be amazing,” said Dan Gibson, Mayor of Natchez. “It is going to not only be a fantastic musical event, but a time for our community to come together on The Natchez Bluff in a way that we haven’t been able to in over a year. It is phenomenal to see things happening in Natchez. Great days are ahead, and this event in May is just a kickoff.”
