20,000 Geckos Under the Sea? That's got to be the 16th annual GeckoFest in Gulfport
It's time for GeckoFest, the wacky celebration of madness that takes over Gulfport each year. This is the weekend of the big event, with activities all day Saturday on Beach Boulevard in downtown Gulfport.
There'll be live music on three stages, more than 200 food and beverages, street performers, artisans and craftsmen showing off their wares, a costume contest, and an audience participation walking parade.
It's fun for the whole family. Preceding this big weekend have already been the Gecko Ball and the Gecko Crawl. A portion of the proceeds from these events go to local charities. Watch the video above for information about the Gecko Ball and GeckoFest.
There's no shortage of lore about GeckoFest, including how it got started, a character named Gecko Gabella, and more. You can get all the details about the event here.
Come out and be part of this great community event.
