Dozens of artists and craftsmen will be showing and selling their creations on Saturday for the Biloxi Visitors Center Holiday Open House.
The 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. event, which is free and open to the public, offers Christmas shoppers a last-minute opportunity to find locally created arts and crafts. Vendors will be set up throughout the 24,000-square-foot visitors center and on the center’s front lawn, which is in the shadow of the Biloxi Lighthouse on Beach Boulevard.
“This Open House event has grown in popularity over the years and this year we have about 50 vendors,” said Visitors Center Manager Erica Pustay. “We have this event to highlight local artists and businesses in our area. It’s also a wonderful way to invite everyone in to tour our beautiful Visitors Center.”
Vendors include food trucks, handmade jewelry, woodworking, paintings, home decor, pottery, soaps, homemade jams and jelly, and more!
Santa will also be on-site for photos from noon to 4 p.m. There will also be plenty of refreshments throughout the day.
