It may seem like a long way away, but go ahead and begin planning now for the 2027 JXN Food & Wine Festival, March 11–13, 2027, in Jackson, Mississippi. The fourth annual festival, co-hosted by Chef Chair Hunter Evans and Chef Aarón Sánchez, opened its ticket sales in late October.

The three-day event begins on a Thursday, with a chef-hosted reception and dinner, and proceeds from the dinner’s ticket sales benefitting Children’s of Mississippi, the state’s only children’s hospital. Then, on Friday and Saturday, the festival’s grand tastings will be held at Mississippi Museum of Art. A V.I.P. area at Jackson Convention Complex will also offer all-inclusive bars, a lounge and additional chef experiences.
General admission tickets start at $95. Special hotel rates for the festival dates can be booked through The Westin Jackson.

Amanda FitzGerald, director of business development, The Local Palate (which organizes and hosts the festival alongside Visit Jackson), commented: “Four years in, JXN Food & Wine keeps growing bigger and better. We’re proud to bring guests even more of the elevated, delicious experiences they’ve loved each year… There is so much more in the works ahead of March 2027.”
