Ackerman

While Ackerman maintains a quiet, rural pace, a surprising number of events and things to do are found in and around Ackerman, MS. Much of the area's live entertainment and arts scene is concentrated a short drive away in Starkville, especially during Mississippi State University's academic year. The summer calendar is defined by two massive, traditional gatherings: the Neshoba County Fair and the Choctaw Indian Fair.

• For a classic night out, the walkable East Main Street area in Downtown Starkville offers dinner spots near venues like the State Theatre and Starkville Community Theatre.
• Mississippi State University's campus provides larger stages for touring productions and concerts, with the MSU Lyceum Series running from fall through spring.
• Experience Mississippi's deep cultural roots at major annual summer events, including the Choctaw Indian Fair and the Neshoba County Fair, known as "Mississippi's Giant Houseparty."
