List of Calendars to Check first of month and mid-month

  • The Shoofly Facebook Page.  Look under events.  We'll be co-hosting several events with some of our sponsors. Check to make sure they're all listed.  Some, like Pass Books, gallery shows and occasional Bodega gigs will need to go on Upcoming.  

   
  • Silver Slipper:  Beach Bar and Stage Bar.  They usually post entertainment around the end of one month for the upcoming one.  Most of the time, we'll already have the photos of the bands in our calendar library, do a search first!  https://silverslipper-ms.com/entertainment/
   
  • Seacoast Echo calendar:  https://www.seacoastecho.com/calendar/   Not usually much there, but also check their home page.   They'll run stories on stuff that no one contacts us about.  Makes me crazy. 
 
  • 100 Men Hall Calendar:  https://www.the100menhall.com/pages/calendar
     
  • Facebook:  go to "Events" and enter Bay St. Louis as the city of location (afterward, Waveland and Diamondhead too).  Hit "This Week" first and then "Next Week."  
​
  • Check RSVP calendar in their monthly newsletter when applicable.  Also Friends of the Animal Shelter Newsletter, they rarely submit events.
