Bring the Change: A Musical Celebration of Community in Jackson, MS

Mark your calendars—on October 4, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Jackson’s Belhaven neighborhood is hosting something special. Bring the Change turns Belhaven Town Center (800 Manship Street) into a vibrant festival of music, food, and local spirit—with free admission ensuring everyone is welcome.

A Festival With Heart

More than just a concert, Bring the Change is built on unity. Neighbors, local artists, and area businesses come together with a shared vision: to ignite positive change in the capital city. Manship Street will become a living stage, where six acts bring diverse sounds and energy across afternoon and evening.

Meet the Lineup

Here’s how the music unfolds:

  • 1:00 PM – The Akashic 45s

  • 2:00 PM – Golden Teacher Society

  • 3:00 PM – Don Quixote’s Horse

  • 4:15 PM – The Narrows

  • 5:30 PM – Smokies

  • 7:00–9:00 PM – Headliners: The Weeks

Food, Flavor & Fellowship

Behind the scenes, local culinary leaders help shape the experience. The festival is sponsored by Pulito Osteria and hosted jointly by BTC (Belhaven Town Center) and Northshore Coffee. Chef Chaz Lindsay of Pulito Osteria and Rowans speaks to the power of food as a bridge—how breaking bread together can dissolve barriers and nurture connections.

It’s a beautiful intersection: music, community, and flavor all working together to uplift neighborhood identity.

Why You Should Go

  • It’s free — no ticket needed, so cost isn’t a barrier.

  • Family-friendly — a full afternoon into night of entertainment for all ages.

  • Celebrate local culture — a chance to support homegrown artists and small businesses.
