Join us for the BankPlus Red Beans & BBQ Festival, a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of food, music, and community—created to support one vital cause: caring for our neighbors in need. Proceeds from this event benefit Stewpot Community Services, whose mission is to provide compassionate care to those in need—offering food, shelter, clothing, and hope to our neighbors facing hunger and homelessness.
On Saturday, October 25th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Belhaven Town Center, the air will be filled with the irresistible aromas of smoky barbecue and savory red beans as local restaurants, businesses, and congregations compete for culinary bragging rights. Festival-goers will vote and cheer as Cook Teams face off for honors like Best BBQ, Best Beans, Best Cook Team Tent, and the coveted People’s Choice Award.
But that’s not all—enjoy live music, ice-cold drinks, and children’s activities as you stroll through the festival. It’s the perfect way to spend a fall afternoon with friends and neighbors, all while supporting Stewpot, your favorite Mississippi Homegrown Charity.
Come for the food. Stay for the fellowship. Leave with a full heart (and belly).
