Clydesdales and Jeepin’ The Coast return. Here are all the MS Coast events for June.
The Budweiser Clydesdales will add some heavy-duty horsepower to Jeepin’ The Coast from June 3-6, and fireworks are on the schedule for every Friday this summer in Biloxi.
Mitchell Distributing posted on social media that the the eight-horse hitch, and their dalmatian mascot who rides atop the famous red beer wagon, will join the Jeepin’ The Coast at events in South Mississippi.
“After Jeepin’ the Coast, we’ll head over to Ocean Springs for a Kickoff to Summer Pub Crawl,” the company said. “It’s going to be an amazing week.”
The schedule of events is:
▪ June 3 kickoff with appearance by Clydesdale “Star” in Pass Christian, 6 p.m. in front of The Peoples Bank, 301 E Second St.
▪ June 4 concert at Bay St. Louis, with parade at 5 p.m. Parade starts at the harbor, north on Ulman, west on Second Street, south on Main, west on Beach Boulevard onto Union Street and finish at the depot.
▪ June 5 block party in Long Beach, with parade at 6 p.m. through downtown on Jeff Davis Avenue
▪ June 6 Kickoff to Summer Pub Crawl in Ocean Springs, with parade at 3 p.m. from Front Beach, up Porter Avenue, through downtown to Mary C. O’Keefe.
The Clydesdales visited the Coast in February 2019 and again in January 2020 — just before the coronavirus shutdown.
Because of COVID-19 guidelines, there will not be any public viewings of the horses at the fairgrounds or rides on the Budweiser wagon for this visit.
