May 11-12: Gumtree Arts Festival

The one event in the spring that Tupelonians can always count on attending is the Gumtree Festival.  This year marks the 42nd festival, and there's plenty in store.  Starting off with the Gumtree 10k run on Saturday morning, the festival continues all Saturday morning and afternoon as well as on Sunday afternoon.  Artists from all over the region will be set up to sell their art including jewelry, handmade furniture, sculptures, paintings, and more.  Artwork from local students is currently on display in the Gumtree Art Museum on Main Street.  Two stages will feature talent from the area: one showcasing local student groups such as ballet, show choir, and chorus groups; and the other will feature local bands.  So be sure to come out and support our local arts and enjoy our beautiful Tupelo spring weather this weekend!
