Taste of the Future
A Culinary Extravaganza for a Cause
Friday, November 3, 2023, 6 - 10 pm
Bay St. Louis Community Hall, 301 Blaize Ave, Bay St. Louis

The Taste of the Future is a culinary journey that beckons all food lovers to come as they are and kick back for an evening of indulgence. Held at the Bay St. Louis Community Center, this event promises a gastronomic adventure like no other. Explore a wide array of delectable samplings from local restaurants and vendors, from succulent seafood to mouthwatering BBQ – the options are as diverse as the county itself!

The evening extends beyond culinary delights, offering a cash bar to complement your meal, a silent auction to add the element of excitement, and live entertainment by the Dave Mayley Band to keep the atmosphere lively and enjoyable. However, the event serves a noble purpose – to raise awareness and funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast - Hancock County Unit. It’s a chance for the community to come together, celebrate their love for food, and support a worthy cause.
