Biloxi police warn of traffic, parking rules for Scrapin’ the Coast 2026
The Biloxi Police Department is urging participants, spectators and residents to plan for increased traffic and parking restrictions during Scrapin’ the Coast, which will take place June 26–28, 2026, in Biloxi, the department said in a Facebook post.
Motorists should expect congestion and delays throughout the city during the event weekend, particularly along U.S. Highway 90 and surrounding areas, the department said. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and exercise patience while traveling through the city.
The department reminded visitors and residents to comply with all traffic and parking regulations. Vehicles must be parked in designated areas and during authorized hours only. Vehicles found in violation of parking regulations may be cited and towed, officials said.
No pop-up events are authorized within the City of Biloxi during the Scrapin’ the Coast weekend, and unauthorized gatherings may result in enforcement action, the department said. This year’s event marks the second Scrapin’ the Coast since the implementation of Mississippi’s “Squatted Vehicle Law.”
Under Mississippi Code Section 63-7-105, a “squatted vehicle” is defined as a vehicle whose front fenders are raised four (4) or more inches higher than the rear fenders. The statute further states that “(a) the height of the fender shall be a vertical measurement from, and perpendicular to, the ground, through the centerline of the wheel, and to the bottom of the fender, (b) ‘fender’ means the pressed and formed part mounted over the road wheels of a motor vehicle to reduce the splashing of mud, water or similar substances.” Operators of vehicles found in violation will be cited, the department said.
The Biloxi Police Department thanked attendees, residents and visitors for their cooperation and urged everyone to enjoy the shows safely. This is a developing story and will be updated as more details emerge.
