38th Seafood festival was A---OK! I been hearing a lot of hype about this Seafood festival so I…read moredecided to check it out. It happens every year in the City of Biloxi and apparently I got to attend the 38th year celebration! Usually it happens around September each year and is on the weekend only. The location usually changes year to year but most of time in the same vicinity. This year it so happened to be in Biloxi Town Green which is right across from the Hard Rock Hotel. The admission is $5 for adults and $15 for the Gumbo contest they do on the last day which provides a cup of gumbo from each team. We decided to go on a Sunday and parked our cars at the Hard Rock parking lot and quickly crossed the street to the entrance. Immediately we noticed hundred of vendors and people selling local items from there business to the crowd but we came for the food. We noticed a large food stand selling plenty of items of seafood and other items such as turkey legs, alligator, and even shark. Most of the items there were fried and they even had crawfish platters. They sell Italian sodas and snow balls to beat the heat as well. Other vendors that were there was a BBQ truck with brisket, pulled pork sandwiches, and also tamales. I went ahead and got 1 tamale and wow it was creamy and had perfect flavor and spice. The size wasn't all that but it was good to go in my books. They also had a boiled seafood pavilion with blue crabs, seafood platters, and shrimp. We went ahead and got the half dozen blue crabs steamed with a side of deep fried jalapeno peppers. They were very fresh and sweet however the peppers just wasn't my thing because they seemed to be sitting out to long. They have a huge covered tent pavilion where you can go in and beat the heat by sitting under some shade eating your meals. This even had live bands and alcohol, face painting, and even huge air bounce houses for the kids at a set price. Overall love the ideas of celebrating South Mississippi rich seafood culture but just wish there was more seafood options and a lot on non fried options as well. Its a great family fun event to attend and enjoy the beautiful Gulf Coast!

Then she has the audacity to threaten to sue, take photos of the licenses of the other audience members trying to toe the stuck vehicles. On top of that she requested a military members military ID which is not allowed and can get fined or worse for doing so. I won't even get started on the event not being up to CDC covid standards because I could. If your so worried about people messing up you land take some money out of your pocket to put a safe parking on both sides of the strip or don't host an even with the ground so wet. I will not be attending another event.

The Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1975 to safeguard the endangered Mississippi sandhill crane and its unique disappearing wet pine savanna habitat. The refuge consists of more than 19,000 acres in four units and is now part of the Gulf Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The visitor center was closed when we arrived so we were unable to get a physical stamp but reached out and they mailed us one. At a National Wildlife Refuge, you can primarily engage in outdoor activities like birdwatching, wildlife photography, hiking, fishing, hunting (depending on regulations), and nature viewing while respecting the primary purpose of the refuge which is to conserve and protect wildlife and their habitats; many refuges also offer environmental education programs and guided tour possibilities are endless. Would know more if the visitor center was open so we took in the day and enjoyed watching the birds on this stop.

Because I am disabled she had my placard hanging from her rear view mirror. Upon seeing it, the staff directing traffic pointed us to their ADA parking lot, which we soon discovered was also their VIP parking lot, with a parking fee of $30.00, However, the young lady at the entrance to the lot informed us that ADA parking was only $10.00. We were prepared to pay the larger fee, after seeing how close we were to the entrance, but were well please with the smaller fee, and considered ourselves blessed to be directed into the first parking space directly to the right of the main entrance. Within minutes we found ourselves speedily passed through the entrance security checkpoint by the efficient, polite and friendly security staff. The layout of the amphitheater is such that upon entrance to the facility the audience members find themselves at the rear, at the peak of a gradual rise forming the general admission grassed hillside. General admission audience space is SRO, with many of those who enjoyed their less expensive entrance fee, laid out on blankets. Below the GA area, all the way to the stage we found the area for reserved seating. I estimated that the RS area had a seating capacity of at least five thousand; with another three-thousand occupying the GA area, it was clear how the advertised seating capacity of eight thousand was determined. At the height of the concert, when it was clear that anyone with the intention of seeing the show had arrived, I estimated that, although not a sell out, between 85% and 95% of the available seats had attracted a paying customer. To the right and rear of the GA grassy knoll, we found the area reserved for the food vendors, two Big Boyz Burger stands, two funnel cake stands, and one more stand that provided a variety of foods, including seafood gumbo. The opening band was the North Mississippi Allstars, who were on stage and belting out their first tune exactly at 7:00. By their third tune they had managed to get Jason Isbell onstage to jam with them. Together they were more than impressive. They were exceptional. But since this is a review of the facility, not the bands, I will only report that the NMAs were awesome, and Jason Isbel and the 400 Unit were even more awesome, far better than I had dreamed they could be. Their encore performance of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," was performed in memory of Dicky Betts, and was an unexpected and stunningly good cover. All in all, we were very pleased with this new music venue and we'll be keeping an eye on the acts they bring in, eager to return to a fun, and exciting facility in order to enjoy good music, food and friendly staff.

The venue organizers could work out some kinks with long beverage lines and better storm/lightning protocols but overall we had an amazing night listening to Slightly Stoopid and Dirty Heads. I WILL say THIS - if the neighbors complain about the noise.....well, it was a LOUD show. I don't think too many others will ever be this loud. For Sunday night shows (and weather delays) there might need to be some decibel monitoring. But, as a regular old attendee who lives 23 miles away, I thought it was spectacular!!!
