COMMUNITY CALENDAR

There is never a shortage of things to do or see in the Hub City. If you are looking for something to do, we encourage you to sift through the many events listed here.

If you would like to add your own event, you can do that by clicking here. This form is for promoting an event via the calendar, only. It is not for reserving community centers or spaces. Please see the following guidelines for posting requirements:

  • Listed events must have a point of contact or link for more information (website, ticketing vendor or Facebook event).
  • All events will be submitted for review before being published, with approval in 24-48 hours. If an event is not approved, the point of contact listed on the event will be contacted.
  • A photo for uploading is helpful, but not required.
  • All events should take place in the City of Hattiesburg.
  • The City of Hattiesburg reserves the right to approve or deny any event listing and to edit the content submitted for final publication.
  • The posting of an event does not provide for the event being  endorsed through the status of being “city-sanctioned” (approval needed by the City Council) or “city-sponsored.” However, both city-sanction and city-sponsored events will also be listed here.

NOTE: Submitting an event for publication on the calendar is not the same as filing for a permit to host an event that requires the use of city property, streets or needs traffic support. For permits, you’ll need to submit a permit application to the Hattiesburg Police Department. The application can be downloaded here: Event & Parade Permits.

By Euripides 

  

Love, betrayal, revenge and the terrifying consequences of being pushed too far: Euripides’ Medea remains one of the most powerful dramas ever written because its central questions still feel painfully immediate. 

Medea has sacrificed everything for the man she loves. When Jason abandons her for a younger bride, she is left with nothing—and refuses to accept her fate quietly. What follows is a searing confrontation between passion and reason, justice and revenge, and the expectations placed on women and the choices available to them. 

More than 2,400 years after it was written, Medea still knows how to get under your skin. It is fierce, emotionally charged and deeply human, asking uncomfortable questions about love, power, betrayal and what happens when someone who has been denied a voice decides to take it back. 

Come for the legendary tragedy. Stay for the unforgettable character at its center—and a story that proves some of the oldest human conflicts are still very much with us.
