The 2024 Star-Spangled Celebration on the River is a highlight in our area, having evolved into a major event since its inception in 2018. Held at Petal River Park and Hattiesburg’s Chain Park, this celebration draws an estimated average crowd of 4000 people to the Petal River Park, eager to join in the festivities. To maintain a vibrant atmosphere and ensure profitability for all involved, we carefully limit the number of vendors, offering opportunities on a first-come basis. While exclusivity isn’t guaranteed, we strive to accommodate a diverse range of offerings.
