The most popular event that brings people from all over the nation to this city is the famous Peter Anderson Arts and Crafts Festival. Complete with arts, crafts, food and more, this festival was created to honor master potter, Peter Anderson and celebrate the city’s rich arts community. The Mississippi Vietnam Veterans Memorial is another way to honor those who helped not only build the community of Ocean Springs but protect the nation as well. Built in 1996, this beautiful black granite memorial is a tribute to those who served in the Vietnam War. Soak in more of the city’s history by taking the Ocean Springs Historical Walking Tour.
