Jackson partners with Memphis to bring live entertainment to the AMP

JACKSON, Tenn. — A partnership between two destination cities is bound to rock your Friday night.

Memphis Tourism will kick off its first free live music event at the AMP in Downtown Jackson on April 26 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Expect local and live Memphis music from Marcus Scott as well as entertainment by the Beal Street Flippers.

Outside of great performances there will be popular Memphis cuisine and the Stax Museum’s Soul Mobile.

Just last year, Memphis received more than 600-thousand visitors from the greater Jackson area.

The goal of the event is to give Jackson a taste of Memphis and to encourage residents to choose Memphis International Airport as their primary airport.

“This is a way for us to engage with the community and let them know about the daily direct flights going out of Memphis International Airport. We want to encourage others to explore Memphis, stay the night, stay the weekend. We’re excited to have this event and we look forward to more events with visit Jackson and the Jackson community to come,” said PR Director for Memphis Tourism, Lauren Berry.
