Clarksdale, Mississippi – The Stovall Festival, a two-day celebration of music and family fun, returned to Stovall, Mississippi, on September 13-14 for its fourth year. Organized by Howard Stovall, the festival has quickly become a beloved annual tradition for people of all ages. With 15 bands, five food trucks, and activities for every member of the family, this year’s event did not disappoint.
Held on a family-owned farm that holds historical significance as the childhood home of blues legend Muddy Waters, the Stovall Festival offers true family entertainment. From yoga classes to a bouncing house for kids, the festival had something for everyone. There were even late-night performances that stretched until 2 a.m. across the four stages.
This year’s festival featured a lineup of talented performers, including local favorites Terry “Big T” Williams and Trey Gardo, as well as bands like Easy Honey, Hans Williams, Happy Laundry, Flip Turn, and Chinese Dub Embassy. These acts brought fans from all over the U.S. and overseas to experience the unique atmosphere of the Stovall Festival.
Food trucks served up delicious fare, while VIP attendees enjoyed a luxury experience with a large flat-screen TV to keep up with football games. For the music fans, the festival’s stages provided non-stop entertainment throughout the weekend.
The Stovall Festival wouldn’t have been possible without the support of its generous sponsors, which included John Deere, S Cotton Gin, and a total of five gin sponsors. Their contributions helped make the festival a standout event in the region.
With a combination of great music, family-friendly activities, and a strong sense of community, the Stovall Festival continues to grow each year. For many, it’s more than just a music festival—it’s a celebration of the rich cultural history of Stovall, Mississippi, and a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime.
