Sipp & Savor was created in 2019 by a committee of local women to serve as the major annual fundraiser for The Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience, but also as an event dedicated to celebrating the South’s rich culinary history.

Sipp & Savor is our platform to share the stories of the Southern culinary world, celebrate our community and region, and create an enriching and educational experience for our ticketholders. Our hope is to bring recognition to the South’s culinary scene, to create meaningful partnerships, to act as stewards to our communities, and use food and beverage as the powerful connectors and storytellers that they are.
