About the Star Spring Festival

The Star Spring Festival is a vibrant annual tradition held in Star, Mississippi, bringing together the community for a day of fun, connection, and giving back. Since its inception in 2011, the festival has raised over $127,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, contributing to lifesaving treatments and groundbreaking research for children battling cancer and other critical illnesses.

This year’s festival takes place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 301 Mangum Drive, Florence, MS, and promises to be bigger and better than ever.
