The Ferris wheel and bell tower decorations at the 2014 Festival of Lights
The annual Festival of Lights at the Perkinston Campus of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College is set for Friday, December 11, 4:45-9 p.m., and it promises fun for the entire family. The event will feature a silent auction, art shows, a children’s parade, pictures with Santa, horse and buggy rides, musical entertainment, games and rides.
Children in preschool to fifth grade can join the celebration by participating in the Children’s Parade at 5:00 p.m. Participants should line up at 4:45 p.m. in the Darby Hall parking area. Children may wear Christmas attire for the parade. They may decorate and ride in a non-gasoline powered vehicle, such as a wagon, golf cart, scooter, skates, bicycle or battery-operated vehicle, or they may march with their favorite group.
