Christmas at Beauvoir, the season-long celebration at the Jefferson Davis home in west Biloxi continues this weekend.
Visitors will find carolers, crafts, Father Claus, lighted paths, tours of the Davis house with period decorations, and, of course, 100 lighted oak trees throughout the property.
In addition, a magical train takes children through the historic 52-acre Beauvoir site.
Elsewhere this weekend, you’ll find Judge Gaston Hewes and “12 Angry Jurors” at Center Stage, Rita Rudner and Brad Garrett at the Beau, the country group Dereks Bentley at the Hard Rock, and Bill Engvall at the IP.
