Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 12th, as we bring the fiesta to Old Town Bay Saint Louis!
Founded in 2015 by the vibrant duo Ann Madden and Sandy Maggio, this festival is a grand tribute to the legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. This festival celebrates diversity, uplifts artists, and helps make a positive impact in our community. Each year, our Frida look-alike contest raises funds for a worthy cause, and this year, we’re celebrating Frida’s love of animals! All proceeds will benefit Woodside Wildlife Rescue, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehab of Mississippi's wildlife. Our contest welcomes everyone—women, men, children, and especially your beloved pets!

Frida Fest is ever evolving! Keep up with all of the happenings on our social media pages, as well as the official 10th Annual Frida Fest Facebook event page by Mockingbird Café.
