Charles R. Hegwood Farmers Market

Charles R. Hegwood Farmers Market operates through Biloxi Parks & Recreation and is listed alongside the department’s other public-facing programs and updates on Facebook, placing the market inside the city’s regular recreation and resident-services network rather than off to the side as a standalone venture. In Biloxi, that gives the market a distinctly civic footprint: it sits under the I-110 bridge overpass at Howard Avenue and runs year-round on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, tying food shopping to a fixed, familiar city location and schedule. The market’s name also preserves the legacy of Charles R. Hegwood Sr., grounding the site in a named local history.

Why it matters locally

Under Biloxi’s Parks & Recreation umbrella, the market fits into a department whose stated role is to provide leisure-time programs and facilities for the citizens of Biloxi, with an emphasis on quality of life and wellness. That matters here because the market is presented as part of the same municipal ecosystem that includes parks, aquatics, sports, and neighborhood programming rather than as an isolated event.

The address under the I-110 overpass at Howard Avenue gives the market a consistent city landmark that is easy to place within Biloxi’s street grid. Its year-round Tuesday and Thursday schedule adds routine, not just seasonality, to that role. Even the full market name carries local memory forward through Charles R. Hegwood Sr., keeping a specific Biloxi name attached to an everyday public market.

What you'll find there

This market page is light on named vendors and product-by-product detail, but it is clearly positioned as a recurring community market at the corner of Howard Avenue and Hopkins Boulevard within Biloxi’s parks and recreation system. For visitors, the key takeaway is a fixed public-market setup in a known central corridor rather than a one-off pop-up.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest rule likely to change how some visitors plan a market stop. The market is held underneath the I-110 overpass at Howard Avenue, a location detail that matters in Biloxi because it gives you a very specific landmark to navigate toward instead of a park lawn or rotating lot.

Timing also matters here: the market runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and that early opening makes it more compatible with morning errands than with late-day browsing. The city lists the schedule as weather permitting, so conditions can affect a given market day. Restrooms are not available on-site, another practical detail worth factoring into a longer stop. If you need to reach the market directly, the listed phone number is 228-388-2443.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Charles R. Hegwood Farmers Market, an important detail for shoppers planning to use nutrition benefits as part of their regular grocery budget. Payment methods are otherwise presented clearly by the market, which helps set expectations before you arrive even though individual vendor-by-vendor details are not outlined here.
