Art in the Pass

About

Held in Pass Christian under ancient oaks at War Memorial Park overlooking the Mississippi Sound, Art in the Pass is a juried fine-arts festival drawing around 100 artists and 10,000 visitors from across the Gulf Coast region. The two-day event pairs art sales with live music from local bands, a high school student art competition, and the Celebrate the Gulf Marine Education Festival. Festival proceeds fund scholarships for rising high school seniors pursuing art education and grants for art supplies to area schools and community organizations—nearly $40,000 awarded in 2025 alone.
