Gulfport has always been one of my favorite cities, and this Saturday is the day to find out why! The 25th Annual Gulfport GeckoFest is this Saturday from 10 am – 8 pm and is free for the whole family. This year’s theme, “25 Years & Still Weird,” which honors Gulfport’s incredibly creative way of life. The very wacky walking parade kicks off at 6 pm and there will also be a special birthday bash for Gulfport’s favorite gecko, G. Gordon McFly! Get out the costume, enjoy the free parking and take advantage of the free courtesy shuttles.
Thursday DARE (Dachshund Adoption Rescue & Education) and The New Barker dog magazine will host a special community gathering in honor of Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.

It’s free and open to the Public, but please RSVP & reserve a luminary here.
