Downtown Hattiesburg
Hattiesburg’s Downtown district is distinctively authentic with a rich history, creative vibe, engaging atmosphere, and compelling architecture. With its own sense of place and personality, Downtown is truly the heartbeat of Hattiesburg! From live music and pop-up art exhibits to eateries that are tried and true, the Downtown area thrives by its unique, artistic offerings and the people who patron it.
