The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will take to the sky for their final performance of 2023 Thunder Over the Sound on Sunday afternoon.

The show is scheduled to start between 3 and 3:30 p.m. over Biloxi. The jets are loud and parents should be sure to bring ear protection for children.

You can watch the show at Keesler Air Force Base, where gates open at 9 a.m.

You’ll also be able to watch the Thunderbirds from several public spots.

Here are the best places to watch the show along the beach:

▪ From the area south of the Biloxi Lighthouse, where food trucks will be set up near the Fred Haise statue. Parking will not be allowed there, at White Avenue or at Lighthouse Park north of 90.

▪ From the porches and lawn at the Biloxi Lighthouse Visitors Center

▪ The patio and lawn of the White House Hotel will have great views and guests of the hotel can chill in the pool while the jets fly past.
