ABOUT THE EVENT

Taste of Mississippi is a tasting event that offers culinary delights from fabulous area restaurants and beverages from local distributors, with a competition among participating restaurants for Best Appetizer, Best Entrée, Best Dessert, Best Presentation, and People's Choice.

For thirty-six years, this event has garnered local and statewide support from restaurants that simply enjoy supporting Stewpot in its mission to feed, clothe, and shelter individuals who are homeless and in need.

All proceeds from Taste of Mississippi benefit Stewpot Community Services, whose mission is to provide for the needs of the poor, elderly, and disabled in Jackson's metro area.

This year’s event will be held on Monday, April 7th at The District at Eastover - Click here to purchase tickets!
