Jackson’s ever-popular Fondren After 5 is more than an art walk – the event is a bonanza of art, music and culture taking place in various venues all over the Fondren neighbourhood. This year’s August edition brings together a particularly exciting mix of events, with four block parties, works by countless artists and performances by 30 bands all happening in a single evening.
