About This Issue
This month’s cover features one of my favorite holiday events of the year, Gulfport Harbor Lights. There’s nothing quite like a spectacular holiday light display, and no one does it like the City of Gulfport. The magic came to life in 2015 and
has expanded to include over 2.5 million lights throughout 40 acres in Jones Park and has been recognized as Mississippi’s Largest Christmas Light Show.
Gulfport Harbor Lights Winter Festival runs
daily through December 31 from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Admission costs $15 for an adult, $5 for children aged 5-12, and is free for children age 4 and under. Read more about Gulfport Harbor Lights in our Leisure section. Also in this section, read all about the holiday happenings at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino! Looking for even more to do this holiday season? Check out our calendar of events, which are full of fun and exciting things to do this December.
Our food reviewer enjoyed some amazing eats this month. First up, see for yourself what all the hype around O’Pink’s Sweet Treats & More is about. In Pascagoula, read about Juanita’s, a local hot spot for all things Mexican, but with a twist. And just in case you weren’t hungry already, our resident chef has you covered for the entirety of your Christmas dinner – seriously. You can’t go wrong with these easy-to-follow, crowd-pleasing recipes!
This season is all about thankfulness and giving. We hope you’ll consider a charitable donation to any of the amazing organizations listed in this year’s Guide to Giving Back, brought to you by the United Way of South Mississippi and our friends at Mississippi Power. Thank you to the local businesses who sponsored the featured charities, and to the dedicated staff and volunteers who devote their time to helping others.
Love
