BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Even though city officials said that they arenât too sure of how many people are visiting the Gulf Coast this weekend after Black Beach Weekend announced events would be moved to August, they said that they are prepared for whatâs to come.
In prior years, Biloxi Police Department Capt. Brian Dykes said that between 15,000-30,000 people would come to the city.
Usually, the department would rely on hotel bookings to get an estimate on how many people were coming to the city. However, Dykes said using that method recently has been difficult.
