“We ain’t afraid of no ghosts,” says Main Street Biloxi Director Kay Miller, referring to this weekend’s “drive-in” movie and Halloween carnival planned for the Town Green.
Trick or treat booths and games will be set up around the Biloxi Town Green on Saturday afternoon beginning at 5:30, with an outdoor airing of the movie “Ghostbusters” planned for dusk. Those attending are encouraged to bring a canned food item, which will be donated to the Salvation Army food pantry.
Main Street Biloxi will conduct a costume contest for ages 12 and under before the movie. A concession stand with snacks and soft drinks also will be operating.
The event is being co-sponsored by the city and Beau Rivage Resort & Casino.

Work planned on Popp’s Ferry bridge
