A New Tradition Takes Flight in Southaven

Join us for the first annual North Mississippi Hummingbird Festival, happening Saturday, September 13, at Snowden Grove Park in Southaven, Mississippi.

This new event honors the incredible journey of the ruby-throated hummingbird as it migrates through our region on its way to Mexico and South America. Thousands of these dazzling birds pass through North Mississippi during their fall migration, and Southaven is planting the seeds—literally and figuratively—to welcome them in a big way.

Thanks to the vision of Alderman John David Wheeler and the support of city leaders, Southaven is transforming the wooded areas near the Field of Dreams playground into a haven for hummingbirds, filled with nectar-rich flowers and feeders. Though the habitat may not be in full bloom this year, the excitement is already in the air!

The festival will feature:

• Educational speakers and conservation groups

• Arts & crafts vendors

• Family-friendly activities

• Food trucks & refreshments

• Nature-themed entertainment

Whether you’re a bird enthusiast, nature lover, or simply looking for a fun weekend outdoors, the North Mississippi Hummingbird Festival is an event for all ages.

Let’s make this new tradition soar!
