A Culinary Celebration of Community
Since its inception in 2022, Taste of Hancock County has grown into one of the area’s most anticipated annual events—bringing together food lovers, local chefs, and community members for an evening of flavor, fellowship, and fun. Held each November at the Bay St. Louis
Community Hall in the historic Depot District, the event offers a delicious glimpse into the rich culinary traditions of our area.
Guests can sample signature bites from more than 25 local restaurants, caterers, and food artisans—each showcasing the best
of Hancock County’s diverse dining scene. From coastal classics
and savory entrees to creative confections and sweet treats, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Live music and a festive atmosphere make the evening even more memorable.
The event also features a silent auction packed with unique local
goods, gift baskets, and experiences—all benefiting Hancock County Tourism and its mission to support and promote our coastal communities.
This year’s Taste of Hancock County will take place on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, and tickets can be purchased at www.playonthebay.org.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this flavorful evening is the perfect way to support small businesses, connect with neighbors, and celebrate the culture and hospitality that make Hancock County so special.
