There is a vaccine and there will be fun things to in the area.
Brookhaven-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce's (BLCC) Katie Nations says a full calendar of events will bring tourists and area residents to Brookhaven and Lincoln County during the spring, summer, fall and winter, and boost the local economy in the process.
"BLCC is taking all state and local mandates under strict consideration and is thoughtfully planning the events to ensure the safety of the community," Nations says.
Downtown Jazzed Up, the Brookhaven's annual Mardi Gras celebration, has been recreated as an art walk with COVID-19 precautions in mind and will kick-start the year of fun on February 20.
The fun calendar also features:
Goin' to Town Car Show sponsored by Fielder's Pro Shop and presented by BLCC. March 6. Owners showcased some 276 vehicles last year, and the Show is expected to be bigger and better. Participants can pre-register for $10 or pay $15 on the day of the event. Contact T-Tommy at 601-833-8620 or BLCC at 601-833-1411.

The Brookstock music festival is also expected to return in July. Over three days with intimate sessions and a big grand finale concert, it brings together established and upcoming local artists and returning musicians who started their careers in the area to perform oldies and today's sound -- their own compositions and the music of others in country and rock genres.
Look for 5K/10K runs throughout the year, farmers markets in the summer and fall, the Brookhaven Exchange Club Fair in the summer and the Overbrook Songwriters Festival in the fall as well.
