About the Festival

For more nearly 30 years, Ocean Springs has been celebrating its arts and culture through its seasonal festival. Now in its 30th year, the Spring Arts Festival highlights arts, crafts and colorful floral in downtown.  Set among the live oak trees and surrounded by hundreds of locally owned shops, galleries and restaurants, this festival showcases more than 150 arts, crafts, herb and garden vendors. 

In addition, the Ocean Springs Art Association and Ocean Springs Fresh Market co-organize this event hosting a weekend series of artist demonstrations and educational sessions.

This year’s event will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, March 26, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Ocean Springs.

Vendor applications are required, but attendance is free. 

Applications are available each year from December to February.  If you are interested in becoming a vendor at this event, give us a call to be placed on the mailing list at 228-875-4424. Vendor exhibitor opportunities close by February each year. 

This event is organized by the Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce-Main Street-Tourism Bureau, Ocean Springs Fresh Market, Ocean Springs Art Association and its many sponsors.

Come out and celebrate springtime with us in Ocean Springs downtown, uptown, all around town.  #ILoveOS
