We came to this place by chance when hubby and I made our short road trip on a weekend. It was December and when we saw cars pulling on the huge lot, we came and follow them out of curiosity. Parking is free and there was happy and joyous people with good music everywhere.
Then, we follow the crowd in queue for wine tasting and there's no backing out but, move forward...it was fun! I don't drink wine but, on this occasion, I go with the flow. There was more than a dozen of good tasting wine provided with Godiva chocolates so; we tasted all and found four of our favorites. Yeah! we bought four bottles! Their strategy and activities were impressive and working! We met some friendly people and they too came there for the first time. It started with, what's in there?
These pictures were taken at the festival grounds and they welcome local vendors. We saw nice crafts and hearty food, prices were alright. We stayed for about 3 hours and head to our destination. If you live in Florida, check out this place at:

These pictures were taken during the Peter Anderson Festival in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. This festival features the local artists and display their artwork, special unique decor, wood carvings and more.
The prices of the products are affordable with world class quality.
This town is full of charm and happy people. The community is very supportive to every events and festivals.
Here is an artwork area that I love in fact, hubby bought wood carvings of birds. Peter Anderson Festival is the most celebrated event for Arts and Crafts in the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This event is showcasing and giving honor to all the local painters, potters, and craft makers.
There are so many amazing art exhibit, food booths (my favorite), and there are live bands that stimulate the crowds in jolly shopping mood. 
There are downtown seated dining (sort of Night cafe' in Cagayan de Oro City) and lots and lots of delicious food. 
People who came to this festival did not only window shop but, they came here to buy the art work. I took a video but, can't find it in my folder. It would be nice to 
The picture below is my favorite art work. Oh you should check out the artist, he is just talented.
Visit Ocean Springs and better check out the schedule of Peter Anderson Festival this year. If you collect art work, you will surely enjoy this festival.
