Tunica is a great spot for a getaway with friends, family, or a significant other. You’ll find charming, rustic streets that lead to the bright lights of the casinos and the grandiose Mississippi River that heads toward the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you’re learning about the history of blues at the Gateway to the Blues Visitor Center & Museum or living in the musical moment at Bluesville Performance Hall, this folksy town has individuality you’ll love. And there’s no shortage of savory Southern barbecue, local whiskey, and legendary bars. Take historic Highway 61 up to Memphis, Tennessee—just a short drive away—for can’t-miss attractions, including Graceland®, Beale Street, and the National Civil Rights Museum®.
