THE GECKO’S WERE HERE!!

The 9th Annual Gulfport Gecko Fest was a huge success! This FREE Event sponsored by the Gulfport Merchants Association, GEICO, Gulfport Chamber of Commerce, Industrial Art Center, Sail Away Realty and the City of Gulfport was a full day of fun for everyone.

The 2009 Gulfport Geckofest provided a fun day for everyone who attended

This quirky celebration brings together strolling street performers, main stage performers and vendors with all types of weird and wonderful wares up and down Beach Blvd. Over 190 vendors were in attendance at this years event!

There was a fantastic turnout for the 2009 Gulfport Geckofest

Don’t forget this was an audience participation event, especially the parade (6pm)… We expanded the Gecko Walking Parade (think wacky, noisy, and costumed) with non human, and adults & children’s costume contests at the end. Additional activities included Sidewalk Chalk Art, Face Painting, Belly Dance Lessons and Much More.

A most colorful event, the 2009 Gulfport Geckofest was a visual treat

The day culminated in Gulfport’s famous -STREET DANCE at 8:00 pm!
