Hip hip hooray! 

It’s time to celebrate our nation’s 149 years of independence on July 4, 2025. And lucky for us, this year’s Independence Day celebration falls on a Friday, making for a nice, long weekend filled with good food and fireworks. 

It is official. Hubfest is on the horizon! In less than two weeks, Hattiesburg and the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) will host their first Eaglepalooza since 2019. This anticipated festival commenced nearly two decades ago. Since its founding, people from the Hattiesburg region and beyond have gathered for this annual event. Its grand reintroduction is bound to bring a huge crowd of visitors— from both near and far. 

Mardi Gras parades and celebrations are about to begin in the Magnolia State, uniting Mississippians from all corners of the state. Although Mardi Gras is traditionally more recognized in the southern part of the state, Mississippians will be excited to see some celebrations scheduled in North Mississippi, too. From the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast to Olde Town Olive Branch and many towns in between, Mississippi is ready to “Laissez les bons temps rouler!”

Christmas movies provide us with the break we need from the season’s business, often with a comforting storyline and predictable happy ending. Families across Mississippi and the country are invited to experience Steal The Naughty List this holiday season. This charming stop-motion Christmas film blends adventure, humor, and heartwarming messages in a unique story about the real Saint Nicholas. The best part is that it was homegrown and filmed in Mississippi.
