Jackson is home to a network of trails that come alive in the colder months, each one more unique than a rare Mississippi December snowflake.

The 4th annual Run the Rainbow takes place Saturday, March 21, 2026, combining St. Patrick's Day celebration with fundraising for Children's of Mississippi—the state's only children's hospital. The race starts and finishes at Hal & Mal's in downtown Jackson.

Jackson, Mississippi, is set to dazzle once again with its premier event, the Hal's St. Paddy's Parade & Festival, adopting the theme "Stars, Stripes and Shamrocks" for its 2026 celebration.
