Activities, Camps and After School Classes in Ocean Springs, MS

In the summer of 1956, a rising star named Elvis Presley fell for the Mississippi Gulf Coast — and the Coast fell right back. This limited-time walking tour brings that story to life through the flavors of today. Make your way through the heart of the Coast, stopping at four beloved local restaurants for Elvis-inspired tastings — from meatloaf and mashed potatoes to a Velvet Elvis Waffle — while your guide shares the real history of Elvis’s time here. Created in partnership with the MS Gulf Coast National Heritage Area’s Summer of ’56: Elvis on the Coast exhibit, this is food, history, and a little rock ‘n’ roll all in one afternoon.

Designed for travelers who want more than just a meal, this guided walking food tour lets you experience Ocean Springs the way locals do. Enjoy multiple tastings of favorite local dishes while learning the stories, history, and culture that shape the town. Led by Gulf Coast locals, the tour blends food, community, and storytelling into a relaxed, authentic experience you won’t find on your own.
