Coast fans of "Downton Abbey" have a chance to get a preview of the final season Friday when the Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Center, 1600 Government St., Ocean Springs, and Mississippi Public Broadcasting and the MPB Foundation host a "Downton Abbey" evening.

The "Downton Abbey" soirée is comprised of two events -- a cocktail party with hors d' oeuvres, fine wines and cocktails, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Friday for $75 per person and a free preview screening.
