 7/11 - Saturday

Other planned activities include a “unibrow on a stick” photo opportunities, a open “loteria” game (Mexican Bingo), and demonstrations of traditional Mexican music and dance.  At least two Old Town restaurants will serve Mexican food for the evening (The Starfish Café and the Mockingbird Café). 

In time-honored tradition, two Old Town businesses take the spotlight each Second Saturday and July is no exception.  The “Hot Spots” for July are Time After Time (112 S. Second Street, inside Bay Emporium) and 200 North Beach Restaurant (200 North Beach).

Second Saturday Artwalk
Frida Fest
Old Town Arts District
Bay St. Louis
4pm - 8pm

Expect a fiesta flair to the Second Saturday Artwalk, on July 11th, as Bay St. Louis fans of the legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo celebrate what would have been her 108th birthday with “Frida Fest.”

Kahlo’s actual date of birth was July 6th 1907, but organizers believe that the artwalk is the perfect occasion to honor the iconic artist, while spicing up the regular Second Saturday happenings.  As always, special events, live music and gallery openings will take place from 4pm – 8pm throughout Old Town.

Attendees to the July Second Saturday are encouraged to wear Mexican attire.  Frida look-a-likes can enter a costume contest taking place at 7:30pm in front of the Mockingbird and Smith & Lens gallery in the 100 block of South Second Street.

For folks who think it's a shame that they have to wait a whole month between Second Saturdays:  Final - or FINALE - Fridays!

The last Friday of each month, the Mockingbird Cafe and Smith & Lens Gallery have teamed up to generate that same fine Second Saturday art/music synergy on the 100 block of South Second Street.

At the Mockingbird Cafe (110 S. Second Street), Mr. Atticus's Night Market includes flower growers, artists, belly dancers, farmers, feathered headdresses, tapas and locally made crafts. Up on stage, the musical offerings change from month to month, but always in keeping with the fun family vibes. 

Just next door, Smith & Lens Gallery opens a new art show each Final Friday with a fun courtyard reception from 6 -8 pm.  This month the featured artist is Julia Reyes.
