Main Street’s Finally First Friday for September will have a back-to-school flavor, with hand-dipped apples for teachers attending the Downtown Biloxi affair.
The event, which takes place Friday from 5 to 8 p.m., will feature The Blue Start Orchestra in Margaret Tremmel Peresich Park, while Gallery 782 hosts an exhibition by artist LeLinda Bourge and entertainment by MariAnne Wasilewski.
The hand-dipped apples will be available at Lavish Salon, where a guest will have a chance to win free haircuts for the year.
Prima Donna has an Artist opening featuring Ashley Zapata and a 20 percent discount for teachers. Louis James Salon will have author Lynetta Halat signing her book “Every Rose” and “Everything I’ve Never Had” and will offer 25 percent off all services reserved that night.
Grants for Him and Her also will have discounts for all teachers and entertainment provided by Ian Taylor.
