Decided to come to Biloxi for the weekend for a little getaway and kinda stumbled upon their Mardi Gras parade today at 5:30 p.m. It started on Main St a few blocks away from the coast then made its way down by Hard Rock then away from the coast. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, I believe they had around 70 floats. Kids had a blast and caught a shite ton of beads and other useless Dollar Tree crap

And you probably got to leave with your own car to boot!

Sounds like a good time was had by all.

Yeah but that parade doesn’t throw down like New Orleans parades do.

He probably didn't have good enough insurance to go to a NOLA parade, though.

I have great life insurance but all my beneficiaries were with me.

Staying at Beau Rivage and was able to walk over to the parade and back to the hotel without fear of being shot or carjacked

The older I get, the more I like the small town parades

Grew up in Long Beach and we made it to the Biloxi night parade many times. It was always a good time.

The Pass parade is where you go for shenanigans.

Biloxi is like Mayberry, compared to New Orleans.

lived most of my life in S Louisiana and now in S Miss. Small town Miss parades are much the same as the ones in Louisiana except for Eunice and Mamou.
