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.

Rise and Shine Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

06 April 2019, 07:00 - 06 April 2019, 13:00

The 8th Annual Hattiesburg Rise and Shine Half Marathon, presented by Forrest General Hospital, is officially set for Saturday, April 6, 2019. The 2019 race is adding a 10K route and an opportunity to raise funds for 14 Pinebelt nonprofits through a new ‘Gives Miles’ program.

Runners will tour the city as the course highlights some of Hattiesburg’s iconic landmarks and engages local businesses. The newly certified 2019 course will start and finish at the Historic Hattiesburg Saenger Theater, wind through Downtown Hattiesburg, head toward the Hattiesburg Avenues, looping around the Hattiesburg Zoo. A portion of the route tours The University of Southern Mississippi’s campus, and runners blaze down the Longleaf Trace to the finish line.

Fourteen agencies will benefit from the Rise and Shine Half Marathon in 2019. Each nonprofit will “own” a mile of the race by decorating it and providing volunteers to help with water stations, traffic control, and safety for the runners.

To sign-up to fundraise for one of these 14 charities, visit www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/run-for-charity.

Registration for the 2019 race is now open online. More information about the Hattiesburg Rise and Shine Half Marathon, registration, and nonprofit information can be found at rnshattiesburg.com.
