World-Famous Watermelons
As with most states, Mississippi has livestock and crops it is famous for producing. Further, many Mississippi food festivals celebrate these agricultural products for their contribution to the state’s economy. The Mississippi Watermelon Festival in Mize is a favorite for many. Smith County’s watermelons are world famous. Each July, people from all over the state travel to Mize for two days of nonstop family fun and entertainment. Compete in seed spitting and watermelon eating contests, run a 5K, or even compete in a talent show. You’ll also enjoy arts & crafts vendors, food vendors, live music, and a car show. Bring your lawn chairs, sit back with some watermelon, and relax. This Magnolia cookbook also includes a Chocolate-Covered Watermelon Candy recipe to bring the spirit of the festival right to your kitchen.
Sweet Potato Pies & Pageants
If you love sweet things, the Sweet Potato Festival in Vardaman is perfect for you. Each year, around 10,000 to 20,000 visitors experience the festival’s many attractions. Everyone loves Arts and Crafts Day. Join the sweet potato critter contest, the sweet potato pie eating contest, and the sweet potato recipe contest. You’ll also enjoy live music and a Sweet Potato Beauty Pageant. Set the mood at home with the Candied Sweet Potato recipe included in Mississippi Hometown.
Mississippi Muscadines
A muscadine is a sweet grape that is used to make a number of wines, jams, and jellies. Mississippi is also one of only 12 states that produces muscadines. In fact, the town of Pelahatchie has celebrated the fruit for more than 35 years with its Muscadine Jubilee, a late-summer festival featuring food, fun, arts & crafts, live music, and a Grape Stomp. For a classic taste of Mississippi, don’t forget to try the Muscadine Cobbler recipe included in the cookbook.
Fish Fest
As a state bordered by the sea, it’s only natural that Mississippi has its own seafood traditions. The Biloxi Seafood Festival puts these traditions on display every September. Celebrating family, community, and heritage, the festival features a variety of seafood dishes, live entertainment, and children’s activities. Though not a coastal fish, Mississippi’s farm-raised catfish are an important culinary tradition for many of the state’s people. Also, nothing says Mississippi cookout like a catfish fry-up. See what all the fuss is about when you try recipe for Mississippi Hometown’s Mississippi Cajun Catfish, a dish of perfectly fried catfish fillets with just the right amount of kick. There’s nothing else quite like it.
