In Loving Memory 
Sammy "Rusty Walker" Darwin
1952 - 2012

WELCOME to Iuka, located in the northeast corner of North Mississippi.  Our Iuka Heritage Festival began in 1987 as a one day event.  Iuka has a diverse heritage including Indian heritage, Civil War Battle of Iuka, a railroad town, and our world famous Mineral Springs.  In the years since our beginning, the Festival has evolved into a weekend event celebrated over Labor Day Weekend.  It is the highlight of our "end of summer" celebrations.  We are host to thousands of visitors who come to celebrate with us.  Our annual event takes place in Mineral Springs Park, Jay Bird Park and other places around our beautiful city.  In 2012 we lost one of our most dedicated members.  This is dedicated In Loving Memory to Mr. Sammy Darwin.

Please JOIN US this year as we celebrate our heritage and as we Commemorate and Re-enact the the Battle of Iuka.  Hope to see you Here!!!
