🎉 Exciting things are happening in downtown Hattiesburg! Congratulations to Dede's Bar & Grill on their groundbreaking ceremony yesterday! 🎉 This new restaurant on Mobile Street is more than just a dining spot—it's a key part of the ongoing revitalization in our city. We’re thrilled to see new developments like this that will bring fresh energy, opportunities, and delicious food to our vibrant community. Looking forward to the incredible impact Dede's Bar & Grill will have on downtown Hattiesburg! 🌟 #VisitHBURG #EatLOCAL

Last night we brought a little slice of Hattiesburg to NOLA with the help of Madden Media! We hosted a variety of travel writers and influencers to spread the word that HBURG is where life happens.

Today, we gathered for our Hattiesburg Hotel & Hospitality Quarterly Meeting at the Courtyard by Marriott Hattiesburg, where we were graciously hosted in their beautiful conference room. 🙌 A big thank you to Kelly Garner from the South Mississippi Planning & Development District for presenting an insightful session on workforce development. It’s clear that our local tourism industry has a vital role to play in shaping a strong and resilient workforce. 🏨✨ Looking forward to continuing to collaborate and grow together! #VisitHBURG
