Reimagining the power of public spaces in Mississippi communities

Join us for the 2025 Mississippi Rural Placemaking Summit on September 24, 2025 in Yazoo City, Mississippi!

This one-day event brings together community leaders, creatives, public officials and changemakers to explore how placemaking can drive local transformation. Through panels, hands-on sessions and real-world examples, you’ll gain practical tools and inspiration to take home to your own community.

Whether you’re working on downtown revitalization, increasing community engagement, community development, public art or planning something new for your small town - this summit is designed to help you deepen your impact and connect with others doing similar work.

Last year’s participants left with fresh ideas, a long list of resources, new partnerships and a renewed sense of what’s possible. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it this year!
