The mission of a Main Street is to help manage the change that occurs in the downtown area over time.
Combining forces to work with city partners, these organizations help to preserve the character of a town, encourage authenticity, and create events and activities to help a community grow its sales tax base and provide a “sense of place”.
Ocean Springs Main Street has been supporting our local community since 1989 when it became a part of the Ocean Springs Chamber’s tiered structure. From revitalization and historic preservation to economic development, Ocean Springs Main Street works hard in the community. Incorporating more than a dozen community events and festivals annually, Main Street helps to create a sense of place and growth with a huge economic impact.
In addition to promoting the downtown district and local businesses, Ocean Springs Main Street has a passion for growth and helps to recruit new businesses to the community. In addition, they help current businesses introduce new audiences to the work force through personal interaction, media coverage, accolades, and retention.

WHAT MAKES A
 MAIN STREET
  A Sense
After exploring downtown with its quaint, cottage-like Main Street, artistic flair, and small town appeal, head to the beach for a day in the sun. Stroll along miles of soft white safe, and find more tranquil stretches of beach for romantic walks or moonlit picnics.
Take a boat cruise and enjoy dinner and a magnificent sunset, or paddleboard, kayak, or canoe along rivers and bayous through the ever-changing natural marshland.
