Whether you’re a sports fan, a festival-goer, or just looking for a reason to get outside, there’s something BIG happening every weekend this month.
Celebrate Easter weekend at the Dude with some SEC baseball as our Diamond Dawgs take on the Georgia Bulldogs on April 2 – 4. It’s the perfect way to enjoy spring weather and Bulldog pride.
April 11th is shaping up to be a big day in Starkville! Start your morning with the Children’s of Mississippi Kites & Rainbows Run, a fun and meaningful event for all ages supporting a wonderful cause. Stop by the MSU International Fiesta beginning at 11 a.m., then keep the energy going at the King Cotton Crawfish Boil from 1–3 p.m. before MSU continues their home baseball series against Tennessee.
April 18th is a can’t-miss event with the 40th Annual Cotton District Arts Festival. This beloved event brings together artists, musicians, and vendors from across the region for a day full of creativity, local flavor, and family-friendly fun in one of Starkville’s most iconic downtown areas.
Last but definitely not least, the final weekend of April brings Super Bulldog Weekend as we take on LSU at The Dude. And it wouldn’t be spring in Starkville without the Dachshund Derby happening that Saturday, April 25th.
