Free Food Fridays kicks off May 2 in Ocean Springs and continues all month. Hosted by the Ocean Springs Chamber-Main Street , the promotion draws attention to the town’s thriving culinary scene.

Join South Mississippi’s famous food festivals blending local flavors, farm-to-table dining, and events like Pirate Day in Bay St. Louis and Free Food Fridays.

The "Pirate's Pantry" on Brockbank Drive is not only giving out treats but asking for food donations in return. "When it comes to any holiday, we love to decorate," said homeowner Melissa Gentry.
