Biloxi is a community renowned for its rich history and colorful celebrations. Residents and visitors alike enjoy a year-long lineup of spirited celebrations – whether it’s Mardi Gras, the Blessing of the Fleet, the Seafood Festival, or Cruisin’ the Coast, just to name a few.

And with the holiday season approaching, the city is getting ready to mark the occasion with one of our signature events, Christmas on the Water.

For several weeks now, a group of volunteers has been busily working behind the scenes to prepare for this 10-day celebration, which this year will be marking its 19th year when it begins Dec. 3.

I hope you’ll read the information we’ve compiled on this web site and I hope that you and your family enjoy the holiday events. Invite friends for the weekend so they’ll catch the spirit.

Finally, on behalf of the City Council and me, I wish you and your family a safe and wonderful holiday season.
