The Shoofly Name
A shoofly is a raised wood deck circling a large tree and historically, almost every hotel on the Mississippi coast had one. Now the shoofly by the old Bay St. Louis City Hall is one of few remaining, and it's become our iconic town landmark.
That makes the Shoofly Magazine the perfect place for elevated community conversation. Click here to read more! 
The Shoofly Magazine focuses on lifestyle in Bay St. Louis and its sister city of Waveland on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We publish new stories 46 weeks a year, so check back often or sign up to get weekly email alerts.

The Shoofly Magazine depends on both Annual Sponsors and Supporting Readers.
Annual Sponsors
Our Annual Sponsors are local businesses, organizations and individuals who share our mission to enrich community life in Bay St. Louis, Waveland and Hancock County.
Annual Sponsorships are limited in number to maximize visibility and impact. We currently have a few spots open. Email us now to become an Annual Sponsor!
Supporting Readers
Fewer than 3% of our 5000 subscribers donated in 2021 to make our magazine resources and stories available fire-wall free to locals, visitors, second-home owners and prospective new residents.
While publishing digitally allows us to produce great content at minimal cost, we still need committed Supporting Readers like the ones below who join with our business sponsors to meet our modest annual budget needs.
We urge you to check out the lists below and thank any of these donors who you know personally! Use the button below to join them for 2022 – you'll be helping our dedicated team continue our mission to enrich community life in Bay St. Louis, Waveland and Hancock County!
