Type: Honey Festival
Hattiesburg — the Forrest County city at the hub of Mississippi's longleaf pine Piney Woods region that anchors the University of Southern Mississippi campus and Camp Shelby — sits in a landscape of gallberry, tallow tree, white clover, and longleaf pine savanna wildflower that yields some of Mississippi's most distinctive honey from the ancient longleaf ecosystem stretching across the DeSoto National Forest. This May festival at Kamper Park celebrates Forrest County's remarkable honey heritage at the ecological crossroads of the Gulf Coastal Plain, longleaf savanna, and Piney Woods pine belt, featuring producers from across the southern Mississippi longleaf honey region, guided educational hikes through DeSoto National Forest's longleaf restoration areas showcasing the extraordinary diversity of native pollinator plants, demonstrations on the historical importance of gallberry and tallow tree honey to Gulf Coast beekeeping culture, and culinary programs pairing southern Mississippi honey varietals with the region's exceptional farm-to-table food traditions.
