The Beautiful Table Setting (BTS) Bash is a one-of-a-kind celebration of hospitality, design, and the art of gathering. Each year, guests from across the United States come together in historic Vicksburg, Mississippi, to be inspired by stunning tablescapes, learn from leading voices in design and entertaining, and connect with a community that treasures gracious living.

This year promises to be our most exciting yet, featuring nationally recognized headliners and experts including Lydia Menzies, Brittany Shepard, Maggie Langston, Catherine Strange, Justin Peters, Cindy Thrana, Dr. Jim DelPrince and Linda Lewis. Their expertise spans table styling, antiques, interior design, floristry, and hospitality—offering fresh inspiration for every host and home.

✨ New for 2026! On Thursday evening, join us for our first-ever Tablescape Contest followed by a First Look Shopping Event, where you’ll get early access to our fabulous vendors before the main event begins.

Plus, we’ve introduced tiered ticket options to make it easier than ever to join:

• Option 1: Thursday contest + First Look Shopping + Friday & Saturday
• Option 2: Friday & Saturday events
