For the fifth year, Biloxi will start the season’s celebrations on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It all begins at 5 p.m. at the Biloxi Visitors Center, 10150 Beach Blvd., followed by a parade to the nearby Mardi Gras Museum, 119 Rue Magnolia.
“The Biloxi Visitors Center is where we began the holiday season, with the lighting of the decorations at the Biloxi Lighthouse,” Visitors Center Manager Bill Raymond said, “and this will be where we also will end the holiday season as we usher in the Carnival season.”
This year, the krewes of Neptune and Les Cavaliers join the Gulf Coast Carnival Association, the City of Biloxi and the Biloxi Mardi Gras Museum as sponsors.
