28th annual Artwalk in downtown Ocean Springs

The 28th annual Artwalk is happening this weekend in downtown Ocean Springs.

This rain or shine event will feature around 60 Gulf Coast and traveling artists. This year, shops and restaurants will sponsor artists in and outside of their businesses.

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. along Washington Avenue and Government Street in the downtown area.

This Ocean Springs favorite event lets artists have a chance to show off their work in this creative friendly community. Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cynthia Sutton said, “Ocean Springs is an art community so we are happy to have this going strong for 28 years now. It is just a part of who we are. It is a part of our economy. It is a part of our creative entrepreneurship of Ocean Springs. We are delighted to have it once again. We partner with the Downtown Merchants Association who puts this event on.”

The City of Ocean Springs is expecting around 5,000 people to attend, but remember the roads are not closed off so use caution and walk on the sidewalks during the event.
