Arts Alive! BSL

Arts Alive returns to Bay St. Louis for two full days of art, music, food, and family-friendly fun in the Historic Depot Arts District. This spring festival brings together Gulf Coast artists, live performances, creative demonstrations, hands-on activities, and local flavors in a walkable, welcoming setting.

Festival highlights include artist booths and live demonstrations in the Makers Space, where visitors can interact with artists as they work. 

A dedicated Kid Zone introduces young creatives to artistic expression through engaging activities. 

Live music takes place throughout the weekend, with Saturday performances by Hadley Hill, Don Savage, Valerie Sassyfras, Kevin Parrington, and Kelsey Moran, and Sunday featuring Jesse Loya, Bay High Choir, and Chloe Marie.

Guests can enjoy a wide selection of local food trucks and regional specialties, along with a beer truck offering local brews and familiar favorites.

On Sunday, Arts Alive coincides with the Bay-Waveland Parade of Homes (11a–4p), featuring homes for sale across Hancock County. The tour is free, golf-cart friendly, and includes prize packages valued at more than $2,500.
