🇺🇸 Head to Jackson, Mississippi, to dive into the history the Deep South from the Native Americans who lived on the land, to the Civil Rights movement.
🌅 Stop in Natchez after driving the gorgeous Natchez Trace Parkway, don’t miss the gorgeous sunsets over the Mississippi Delta.
🚲 Then it’s time for Louisiana – start your adventure in Lafayette where you can bike like a local around the city and stay right on the Mardi Gras route.

Everyone’s talking about Coachella – but here are the festivals you REALLY need to experience in the USA
Coachella gets the hype, but the real SOUL of music lives in Mississippi and Louisiana 🎶
Follow @absolutelylucy for hot tips on the best hidden gem music festivals around the globe 😍
The Mississippi Delta is the birthplace of the Blues - where music spills into the streets and talent lives in every corner 🎷 it’s the place that birthed the talents of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, BB King, @callmekingfish and MANY more. Don’t miss the iconic @jukejointfestival in Clarksdale 😍
Then head to New Orleans 🎉 the home of Mardi Gras where you can dance in the streets from dusk until dawn. Where 16 year olds take to the stage and wow crowds of thousands with their debut album at their weekly summer festival, Wednesdays at the Square 🥁
Then join the opening parade for the French Quarter Festival where the party takes to the streets and brings the whole city to life! From dancing troupes to live musicians, to Mardi Gras beads, live stages filled with the finest musicians and Cajun talent! Don’t forget to dress the part 🪭
If you’re looking for a festival that celebrates raw soulful talent, and will be truly unforgettable - skip the hype and follow the Blues Trail to the home of music…
Which festival would you choose?
