Jackson International Food & Art Festival

Food and art are important themes present in all cultures, countries, and religions, and the Jackson International Food and Art Festival serves as a place for all cultures to share their cuisine, art, and traditional performances in downtown Jackson, Tennessee.

Visitors will be able to enjoy and purchase foods, experience art and performances from the numerous cultures represented in Jackson and West Tennessee! A Parade of Cultures is the highlight of the afternoon.

The festival’s mission is to spread cultural awareness, promote cross-cultural engagement, and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of residents throughout West Tennessee.

The JIFAF aims to remind the community that despite differences in appearance, how we worship, or where we come from, there is far more that unites us than divides us.
