Big announcement coming Tuesday
We want to invite you to help us celebrate a major stride in economic development for Gulfport and the Mississippi Coast.
The City of Gulfport will hold a press conference Tuesday, Feb. 1 at 5 p.m. to announce a very exciting entertainment endeavor that could eventually become the local government’s single largest economic development event.
The press conference will be held in downtown Gulfport at The Quarter, which this week won the Covey Award for Best Live Music Venue on the Coast.
Following the announcement, you are invited to stick around and help celebrate with happy hour and live music from Rosco Bandana, who was recently featured on the cover of Marquee. The 5-person band from Gulfport has mastered the soulful sounds of authentic Americana and you can see them live.
See you Tuesday.
