Midtown Depot

For years, Midtown lacked an outdoor space where families, pets, and community members could gather, relax, and enjoy Jackson’s vibrant culture all in one accessible location. Midtown Depot fills this gap as Jackson’s first-ever art park and beer garden, blending local art, social engagement, and an open-air atmosphere crafted from specialty-manufactured shipping containers that reflect Midtown’s industrial character. This dynamic venue hosts both public events and private gatherings, fostering community creativity and providing a welcoming hub for residents and visitors alike.

Over the past year, Midtown Depot has energized the community through diverse events like Sip & Style, which celebrated local art and fashion alongside a new mural by artist Gavin Byrd, and introduced popular interactive features such as an adult swing set, sponsored by Horne. The venue has become a favored spot for Millsaps students, hosting multiple Greek Life and Student Body Association events, while targeted marketing efforts—including Instagram campaigns and a professional sales brochure—have boosted visibility and attracted corporate clients. Midtown Depot has evolved into a creative, community-centered solution that addresses Midtown’s needs and continues to build momentum toward a sustainable, vibrant future.
