Santé South is an international showcase of the world's premier wines and some of Mississippi’s most incredible culinary delights. It’s a great chance to raise a glass and fork while supporting the Mississippi chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Ridgeland Tandem Ride

The Ridgeland One Behind the Other Tandem Rally is a new event for this year. Participants will ply the trails of Ridgeland on tandem bicycles to make the most of the festive scenery. The Ridgeland OBO Rally will feature some of the city’s excellent cycling routes, including the Ridgeland Multi-Use Trail and Ridgeland’s section of the Natchez Trace Parkway, a beautiful scenic byway connecting Natchez to Nashville.

Presented by the Ridgeland Tourism Commission, the Ridgeland Fine Arts Festival is a great opportunity to enjoy a splendid weekend of events that showcase America’s finest artists. The artisans will offer artwork that is creative, inventive, unusual, and unique. Chosen by a panel of independent jurors, the selected media this year includes clay, drawing/pastels, fiber, glass, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and wood.
