Biloxi's 90th annual summertime bash sets sail with a Fais-Do-Do street party on Saturday from noon until 10 pm, when live music, mounds of seafood, and hundreds of artisans provide hours of diversion on the Biloxi Town Green, all building to the coronation of the Shrimp King and Queen. Early admission to the Fais-Do-Do $5; $7 after 5:30 pm. Sunday's boat procession begins at 2 pm, attracting spectators to the Biloxi Channel to watch shrimp and recreational boats parade by and receive their blessings for a safe and bountiful season.
