Freedom Over Ocean Springs
One of the Gulf Coast’s most anticipated summer evenings returns to Front Beach — bigger than ever.
Join us Friday, July 3, 2026, as Ocean Springs comes together to celebrate 250 years of American independence with a night of DJ music, local food, and a fireworks show over the water that you won’t soon forget.
The festivities kick off at 7 p.m. with a DJ set on the waterfront, while local food vendors set up at Fort Maurepas to keep you fed all evening. Then at 9 p.m., the sky over the Gulf lights up in a spectacular fireworks display to close out the night.
Bring your lawn chairs, your blankets, your family, and your neighbors. This is Ocean Springs doing what it does best — food, fellowship, and community, all in one of the most beautiful settings on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
