As a city known for its passion for the arts, Ocean Springs takes creativity seriously, no matter the medium. From stores filled with local, handmade works to museums dedicated to keeping the arts alive, the community here is like no other. And that’s just on any given day – the Peter Anderson Festival takes over Downtown Ocean Springs the first weekend of November each year, amplifying the already artsy vibe of the town.
Community culture is alive and well, showcased daily through “art in the open” exhibits, including murals and sculptures that dot the city. Museums such as the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and Mary C. Cultural Arts Center provide the perfect backdrop for learning and inspiration. Here, you’ll see works by locally- and nationally-renowned artists, and you may even catch a glimpse of art in the making.
If entertainment is more your thing, look no further. Shopping, visiting
museums and enjoying the outdoor recreational opportunities by day is a great way to spend the weekend but the music steals the show when the sun goes down. Ocean Springs has exciting nightlife options and is home to some of the best entertainment on the Coast.
