Hattiesburg Names New Stage at Mannoni Performing Arts Center

The Mannoni Performing Arts Center in Hattiesburg now features the Thomas V. Fraschillo Stage. The naming of the space adds a new venue identifier for residents planning to attend or book events in the city.

Local organizers can list upcoming gatherings on the City of Hattiesburg community calendar. To be published, each event must provide a point of contact or a link to more information. This can include a website, a ticketing vendor page, or a Facebook event. The city reviews all submissions for approval within 24 to 48 hours. If an event is denied, the listed contact person receives notification.

The city reserves the right to edit content for final publication. While a photo is helpful, it is not required for the listing. All events scheduled for the calendar must take place within city limits. Posting an event does not make it city sanctioned or city sponsored. City sanctioned events require City Council approval, and both sanctioned and sponsored events will also appear on the calendar.

Organizers should note that listing an event is not the same as obtaining a permit. If an event uses city property, streets, or needs traffic support, a separate permit application is required. Organizers must submit that application to the Hattiesburg Police Department. The application form for event and parade permits is available for download from the city website.
