As the weather warms and the evenings still cling to some memory of coolness, the Old Town Merchants Association and the Second Saturday Artwalk Series begin their scheduled activities.
Highlighting this season's calendar, which features exhibits, street dances and extended shopping hours, will be the annual "A Place of Art" gala, Silent Auction and Art Show.
The Fourth of July couldn't be more packed with activities and is tailored-made for Gulf Coast enjoyment.
The fall brings on the Diamondhead Arts and Crafts Fair, the International Food Festival and the largest street party we know — Cruisin’ the Coast. Vintage car buffs and flashbacks from the 50's linger on every corner.
The Gulf Coast's usually mild winters don't deter the holiday spirit in Hancock County by any stretch of the imagination.
The Chamber of Commerce's annual Red Ribbon Christmas parade kicks off the holiday shopping specials.
