JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Ahead of 2026, businesses, churches, musicians and other groups seek to encourage those across the metro to celebrate the new year.
Though welcoming the new year at Times Square may be the dream for many, financial and other considerations make such a ritual impractical for most Mississippians. Still, roughly two dozen separate events help those in and around Jackson ring in the new year. It offers a variety of options for residents based on age, taste, price range or style of celebration.
