Join us on a holiday to Mississippi

Long considered the cradle of blues music, Mississippi is a haven for music lovers. In this part of the USA, you can retrace the footsteps of legends from the music hall of fame.

Legends such as Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson and Elvis Presley. For fans of the latter, a trip to his hometown of Tupelo should be added to the itinerary, as well as the bordering state of Tennessee, with Memphis city breaks within easy reach. The city of Clarksdale is another popular stop for music lovers, with the Delta Blues Museum providing a fascinating look into the invention of rock 'n' roll.

Unwind in one of the many restaurants and bars in the Delta, discover the region's poignant history or embark on a journey through its literary offerings. Visit the Vicksburg National Military Park, the site of an important Civil War battle, laze on one of the sandy beaches along the Mississippi Gulf Coast or wander through historic towns and the surrounding countryside. For the ultimate music-lovers trip, our Mississippi tours are combined with holidays to Memphis and Nashville, to enjoy famous attractions such as Sun Studio, Beale Street and the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Things to do in Mississippi

On a trip to Mississippi with Newmarket Holidays, Elvis' hometown of Tupelo is a particular highlight for fans of the King. Here you can visit the humble house he was born in back in 1935.

As well as trips to nearby destinations like Memphis, New Orleans, Nashville and Chattanooga, a visit to the Gulf Islands National Seashore can also be enjoyed on Mississippi holidays. Laze on the pristine beaches, spot migrating birds and explore historical forts in this area of wild unspoilt beauty.

Get a taste of days gone by at the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum in Jackson. With a living history farm, a recreated 1920s town, and a heritage centre, it's a great way to learn more about the state's past.

Food and Drink in Mississippi

Being in the deep south, Mississippi tours are sure to be full of great food.

Look out for regional favourites such as Delta Tamales - corn dough filled with meat and simmered, scone-like biscuits, and comeback sauce, a spicy sauce that was invented at Jackson's own Mayflower Café.

There are few better authentic Mississippi dining experiences than soaking up the atmosphere at a local restaurant while feasting on seafood such as catfish, crawfish, oysters and crab, as well as Mississippi mudbugs in the summer.

Fulfil sugar cravings with a slice of Mississippi mud pie, a dessert made with chocolate pudding, cream, and marshmallow on a biscuit base, or caramel cake, a layered sponge cake smothered in caramel frosting.
