SUMMARY: The elements of a proposed special events ordinance in Biloxi, including permit requirements and proposed changes to parking lot usage. Mayor Gillich has proposed the creation of a parking lot at the Schooner Harbor as part of an infrastructure project to save money and reduce the need for the city to invest heavily in the project. The city would not receive any of the federal funding for the project. The proposal will be discussed at an upcoming council meeting, with details to be determined. There has been controversy surrounding the proposed amendments, particularly with regard to the RV section, and some permits will be required for vendors participating in special events. The special events ordinance will be voted on at a future council meeting.

More changes to Biloxi’s special events ordinance were proposed during a city council meeting today.

By Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected, with Friday holding a higher chance for stronger storms. Saturday will see lingering rain, but after the front moves through, humidity will decrease, making for a pleasant weekend. A weather alert is advised for Thursday and Friday.
