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 a lazy afternoon, 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. Did you know that many of the downtown bars and restaurants have live music most nights of the week?
Of course, all that excitement does tend to work up an appetite. The city’s artistic flair overflows into its top-notch dining options. Mediterranean? Check. Sushi? You got it. Fresh Seafood? Absolutely. Ocean Springs is full of unique restaurants, each offering a memorable dining experience
and seriously good eats. After all this is the South, and if there’s anything we know for sure, it’s good food.
The city of Ocean Springs is always bustling with activity. From its community calendar stacked with fun and family- friendly events to continued development and beautification efforts, it’s fair to wonder when the city ever sleeps.
“We have seen a bump in the growth of new businesses opening around town,” said Ocean Springs Chamber
of Commerce Executive Director Cynthia Sutton. “We know that each of them will be a great addition to our city. The arts are always at the forefront, and we are especially enthusiastic about the expansion of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and the addition of the mural on the RoofTop building. We hope to see other art projects join downtown in the future.”
Each facet of downtown Ocean Springs, from the businesses to its grounds and art community, is equally important in sustaining the city’s strong sense of community. Thanks to the combined efforts of city leaders, the Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce, businesses, residents, and local organizations, Ocean Springs will continue to flourish in 2021.
