Coast Life: Christmas on the Bayou
SUMMARY: The tradition of Christmas on the Bayou, where water becomes part of the celebration, began in 1999 in Gulfport. The event includes a parade on the water where people can interact from boats and holler back at each other while Christmas music plays. Larry Clark helped start the event, desiring something like a Mardi Gras parade but with water interaction. The tradition continues every December with a sparkling showcase of transformed waters flowing through Gulfport. This unique celebration brings people together to enjoy the holiday season in a distinctive way.
On Saturday, a Coast Life tradition continues with Christmas on the Bayou.
