THIS FALL, SOMETHING SPECIAL IS HEATING UP
ONCE AGAIN ON THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST!
Join us October 9–10, 2026, on the beautiful Moss Point Riverfront for the 2nd Annual Smokin' The Sip—
a celebration of blues-inspired music, championship barbecue, and community.
Following the tremendous success of our inaugural festival, Smokin'
The Sip returns bigger and better than ever. Last year's event
FRIDAY
brought together talented musicians, award-winning barbecue teams,
local vendors, and visitors from across the Gulf Coast, creating an
unforgettable weekend and establishing a new tradition for Moss Point.
Inspired by Mississippi's legacy as the
Birthplace of America's Music and the
Hospitality State, Smokin' The Sip was
created by Josh Borden and the Moss
Point Main Street Association to celebrate
the culture, flavor, and hospitality that
make our community special.
Set along the scenic Moss
October Point Riverfront, this family-
friendly festival features

incredible barbecue, local
