Outlets of Mississippi

Halloween/Fall themed event

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and may close at any time once capacity is reached. Many categories fill well before the listed deadline.

Foodees Fest is a large-scale, outdoor, multi-day festival built around food, culture, and small businesses that know how to show up and stand out. Vendors are selected based on product category, quality, presentation, professionalism, and event needs.
