Mark your calendars and Save the Date! for our next HOMEGROWN event.

We’ve moved from our winter weekend to a spring time celebration of all things “Stories.” Four days in April 2027 to capture your attention and imagination. Stay tuned for announcements on the authors and presenters as HOMEGROWN: A STORIED EXCHANGE returns for our 5th annual festival.

Mississippi Gulf Coast will host an amazing array of some of the finest authors in the South.

Join us at 100 Men Hall, dba, in Bay St. Louis on Thursday, April 8, for a “Very Bluesy Conversation” with award-winning author Kiese Laymon and Ole Miss music & culture scholar, Scott Barretta.
