Hundreds of Cruisin’ the Coast vehicles were on display throughout downtown Biloxi today in a display that observers said appeared to be largest they’d seen.
“We’re in overflow mode,” Cruisin’ Director Woody Bailey said of the downtown gathering, “and that’s a good mode to be in.”
Biloxi Police began blocking off streets for cruisers early this morning and by 8 a.m., cars were lined up on most major downtown streets and in public parking lots.
Thousands of pedestrians strolled through the cars, as owners sat nearby, or gathered in front of one of the entertainment stages situated in downtown.
The downtown block party was scheduled to continue until 2 p.m. although some vehicles began leaving around 1 p.m.
