Join us for the Biscuit Warm-Up – Live From Clarksdale. Mississippi and Arkansas neighbors have joined forces to make King Biscuit Week epic in 2025. We’re continuing everyone’s favorite King Biscuit traditions, and bringing some across the river from Wednesday Noon until Friday Noon.

Wednesday, October 8th

Warm-up Wednesday has always been King Biscuit Blues Festival’s best-kept secret… a hidden gem that serves as a reward for our most loyal fans who arrive before the festival fully ramps up. Enjoy a quieter, more laid-back scene – and some of the best blues in the world. King Biscuit Week kicks off in Clarksdale this year, downtown on 1st & Delta Avenue. Stroll downtown from lunchtime (12:00pm) onward, then enjoy Hopson Hospitality all night starting at 5:00pm.
