Rescheduled to Jan. 10: Biloxi 12th Night

It’s time to kick-off the 2024 Mardi Gras season!

The Coastal Mississippi Mardi Gras Museum, the City of Biloxi, Gulf Coast Carnival Association, and Biloxi Main Street’s First Friday announce Biloxi’s 12th Night Celebration! The reigning royal courts of 2023 will turn off the Biloxi Lighthouse Christmas lights and parade to Biloxi City Hall where they will turn on the lights of Carnival and toast the beginning of Mardi Gras in the City of Biloxi. The evening features music by the Bucktown All-Stars (7-9pm). All events are free and open to the public.

As Mardi Gras has grown in Biloxi, so has the Coastal Mississippi Mardi Gras Museum. The Museum began as the Biloxi Mardi Gras Museum, a small display in the offices of the Gulf Coast Carnival Association. Today it is a vast collection of costumes and memorabilia from over 20 different krewes, promoting and preserving the majestic 115+ year history of Mardi Gras across the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast.
