Thank you for all of our volunteers who came out and helped make this event smooth sailing!

Do you like to create art centered around dinosaurs or prehistoric animals. We are curating a prehistoric-themed exhibition and looking for unique pieces across all mediums- painting, clay, sculpture, mixed media, and more. Everyone is welcome to submit, not just Mississippi residents! Sign up through the link in the bio.

Celebrated every July, Parks and Recreation Month honors the vital role of parks and recreation professionals play in connecting communities, and promoting health and well-being. Established by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), it highlights how public spaces promote health, wellness, and community connection.

Columbus Recreation Department will be celebrating with Blues on the River. We’re asking everyone to come out, free of charge, good vibes and food trucks to satisfy your taste buds. It’s going to be a great time for all!
