Stroll and Shop on the Bay

Time To Eat
For a little refreshment, stop by the Mockingbird Café to sample gourmet coffee, fresh breads and pastries, and homemade pizza. A new local watering hole, Gabbie’s, has opened in the 100 block of Main Street. Trapani’s Eatery, a pre-Katrina waterfront landmark, is temporarily at home at 833 U.S. 90.

If you’d like to explore on your own, ask any of the local gallery owners for a map of the Bay Saint Louis shops. You’ll soon discover that the main attractions are the people themselves. Spend a laid-back evening with this crew, and you’ll find yourself seriously pondering a move to the coast.

Must-Know Info
Remember--this indoor-outdoor event happens the second Saturday, not necessarily the second weekend of every month. For example, if the first day of the month falls on Sunday, the Art Walk still happens the second Saturday, which is the third weekend, of the month. Make sense?
