(July 7, 2021 12:36 PM) The Bright Walls Mural Festival today announced plans for Bright Walls 2021.  The committee said this year’s event will be a three-day festival but emphasized the Finale is still being planned for 2022.  Plans for a 2020 festival, which would have been the third and final event, were derailed due to the pandemic. Organizers earlier this year announced there would be a “Bright Site” in 2021 and today revealed specific plans.  

Clay McAndrews, Bright Walls founder and co-director told JTV this year’s event will include mural painting and said details will be announced later along with other surprises.

This year’s lineup of activities:

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 AT 6:30 PM EDT

Bright Paws – Parade and Pageant

Bring your four-legged friends to the 2018 Bright Walls Mural Site (we’ll meet at the Cey Adams “Love” mural on the back of the Jackson Antique Mall – 201 N. Jackson Street). After taking photos, we will parade with our pups to the 2021 Bright Walls Festival. Once there, those interested and registered can join the fun for the Bright Paws Pup Pageant where every dog will have his/her day (or 10 seconds of fame) on stage!

Downtown Showdown – Presented by Jackson Anchor Initiative

Join us at noon for a local artist paint battle, and later, sit back and enjoy a lip sync battle amongst Jackson’s best (silent) singers. We’ll have a few “magical” surprises in the evening too. This is a family-friendly day you won’t want to miss. Food trucks onsite, too!
