What is Taste of South Mississippi?

Taste of South Mississippi is a coastal culinary fundraiser for the Kroc Center, featuring signature dishes from local restaurants, live entertainment from DJ Mixx Miestro and Mississippi Songwriters, with an exciting silent auction. All proceeds support the scholarship fund and youth programming at the Kroc Center, helping our community meet their health and wellness goals or develop skills in art, music, or sports. Also, with a family atmosphere the Kroc Center provides ample family events, camps, after school care, and so much more to support a working family.
