What is Due South?

Due South is a celebration of all things southern. The sights, the sounds and those tastes – D I V I N E. It’s an experience that excites all the senses but it’s also a fundraiser for arts education and programming in Thomasville, Ga. 

For 10 years we’ve been rocking to the coolest sounds this side of the Mississippi and serving up the greatest eats and smoothest drinks with the best people. It’s become a tradition around these parts, one that Thomasville Center for the Arts in partnership with Thomasville National Bank is proud to continue. 

We invite you to kick back with us this April and enjoy something a little different. ShinDig has always lived within Due South as the culminating party during the open-air concert and has been coined as the best party of the year – that makes us smile. We hope you agree. We won’t have space enough for all of our friends but a small gathering around some good tunes that remind us of good times, and promises of a better tomorrow when we can all gather big again.
