The festivities begin on Friday, July 23 at 6 p.m. on the Town Green when the Parks and Recreation Department joins the Biloxi Main Street’s Drive-In event and movie of “Madagascar 2”. All children are invited to come out and have fun. There will be a giant water slide and safari hunt for all to enjoy.
Festivities will conclude on Saturday, July 24 with a Family Pool Party from noon to 3 p.m. at the Natatorium. There will be games, hot dogs, chips, soda and music. All children under the age of 10 who can not swim must be accompanied by an adult in the pool.
