GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - A beloved Christmas tradition is set to dazzle over the weekend. The Christmas on the Bayou boat parade sets sail Saturday from Gulfport Lake and winds along Bernard Bayou.
On Thursday evening, a Captain’s Meeting was held to make sure all of the Christmas on the Bayou participants knew the plan to keep everyone safe.
“This parade has been something that my family has been a part of for the last 21 years and it was really important that we maintain our COVID responsibility while also still continuing a tradition that our community really needs right now,” said committee member Lauren Santa Cruz.
