Imagine the streets of historic downtown Greenwood packed with people of every background anticipating a weekend of arts, music, food and festivities. From all across the Delta and from every corner of Mississippi, people have come to visit with friends they love and to experience Greenwood’s greatest weekend event.
The good people of Greenwood are joined together in congratulating the city’s newest Miss Hospitality while out-of-towners take in all there is to offer between the Yazoo River and the C&G Rails. All the while, a local band is finishing their encore performance and a regional act is preparing to take the stage. Daddies dance with their daughters as older couples recall similar street dances from days gone by.
Local vendors have lined the streets with specialty food and spirits and area merchants are excited about showcasing their artwork and creations. Festival sponsors have gathered around the tables at the V.I.P. tent and are enjoying the complimentary beverages and cuisine. The warmer weather of spring has arrived and so have the people. This is the River to the Rails festival in downtown Greenwood!
