Spring Break's major event in Biloxi is in question after its special event request was denied.BILOXI, Miss. - Less than a month before Black Spring Break comes to South Mississippi, the City of Biloxi denied the organization’s special event request. A hearing to appeal the decision is set for March 19.
Black Spring Break listed its event location at 2450 Beach Boulevard in Biloxi. That address is a vacant lot owned by Shuller Holdings. In previous years, the property has been rented to food vendors and utilized as additional parking. “Their application they submitted shows that 2450 Beach Boulevard is part of the event, even though in their language they’re saying they aren’t specifically having an event on the Shuller property, there’s no way you can separate the two,” Biloxi’s Planning Commission Director Jerry Creel explained.
Other issues point to safety concerns. Following the mass shooting at last year’s event which injured a reserve police officer, Biloxi is worried its police department will not have enough police officers to maintain an event that draws 20,000-30,000 attendees to South Mississippi.
