Love begins with YOU event returns to Vicksburg

VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — Love Begins With YOU returns to the Vicksburg Convention Center for the third consecutive year on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026. Historically a brunch, this year’s celebration of self-love will be an evening affair with the theme “Joie de Vivre,” a French phrase meaning “joy of living.”

Performances by jazzy R&B duo Acute Inflections of New York and Mississippi blueswoman Duchess Jureesa will usher in the spirit of joy, connection, and celebration. Intriguing guest panelists will be joined by comedian Rita Brent and media influencer Melanie Sanders to share thoughtful insight on topics ranging from health and fitness to beauty to love, relationships and life. The panels will be moderated by fashion mogul Raymond Banks and blogger Gabrielle Terrett.

Doors for the highly anticipated event open at 4 p.m. with an assortment of vendors present. The lineup of talk and talent officially begins at 6 p.m.

Event tickets include the cost of the meal and can be purchased on Eventbrite or at www.lovebeginswithyou.live.  Applications for vendors and sponsors who want to be a part of this signature event can also be found on the website.
