Exciting News for Our 16th Annual Jones County Heritage Festival T-Shirts!
Last year, we kept things simple with a classic white t-shirt featuring our festival logo. But this year, we're shaking things up! Based on feedback from our amazing attendees, we’re inviting Jones County youth (ages 4-18) to showcase their creativity by designing the official t-shirt for our 16th Annual Jones County Heritage Festival.

The winning design will be featured on this year’s limited-edition festival t-shirts, available exclusively at the event. The 1st place winner will not only have their artwork displayed on the shirt but will also receive a free t-shirt, $30 in festival bucks, and a certificate presented by our Jones County Manager at the Awards Ceremony. Plus, two runner-ups will receive special prizes!
