Krewe of Gemini holds parade in Gulfport; road closures start at 12 p.m.

The Krewe of Gemini is holding a parade in Gulfport, and road closures begin at 12 p.m., the organization said on its Facebook page.

The post urged residents to plan ahead, claim spots early and bring family and friends to enjoy floats and traditional throws. Organizers encouraged spectators to arrive before closures take effect to secure viewing locations.

Krewe groups are social organizations that stage parades and community events in Gulf Coast cities, often drawing local families and visitors. Parades featuring floats and throws are a longstanding part of regional festival traditions and can affect traffic and parking near the route.

Officials and organizers typically coordinate with local authorities to manage road closures and public safety, and attendees are advised to follow posted signs and any guidance from law enforcement. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
