If you’re in the mood for something family friendly and fun to do Halloween weekend,
the McComb-Veazey Homecoming: A Fall Festival is the place to be. On October 29th, the corner of 12th St and S.
Magnolia, in the McComb-Veazey Cultural District will transform into a festival full of games, music and local small
businesses. The marketplace will feature local vendors selling pecan candies and sweets, seasonings, pottery, crafts,
handcrafted tea blends and much more. Stop by, support local vendors, and kick off your holiday shopping at the first
annual Homecoming Festival.
The Homecoming event will be open Saturday, October 29th from 2:00 pm to 6:30 pm at the intersection of 12th St &
South Magnolia St, bringing the magic to the McComb-Veazey Cultural District and the Northside.
“The McComb-Veazey Homecoming event is our way to welcome our neighbors and the community into the Community
House to provide a safe gathering space to hangout and share our stories and to celebrate the progress we have made in
the district. We invite all our Homegrown alumni and current residents to support the event, local vendors, and the movie
night. This is a great seasonal amenity and community event for the neighborhood,” said Tina Shelvin Bingham, Executive
Director of the McComb-Veazey Neighborhood.
“Ahmay’s Seeds of Abraham is thrilled to co-sponsor this event! Our founder, William A. Duncan Jr. was passionate about
creating something for the McComb-Veazey community that its residence could support. We are confident that the
McComb-Veazey Homecoming event will honor that passion. Gethsemane Church of God in Christ will prepare blessing
bags with fruit, vegetables, and protein will be available for approximately 50 families in need. With local vendors, food
trucks, and a special performance by McComb’s own Uncle Fallay, this event is sure to be an exciting celebration of the
season!” said Aundrietta Duncan, President of Ashmay’s Seeds of Abraham.
The McComb-Veazey Homecoming: A Fall Festival is presented in partnership by the McComb-Veazey Neighborhood
Community Development Corporation and Cultural District and Ashmay’s Seeds of Abraham.
