Take In Essential Pit Stops Along the Way

On the way to the Bogalusa Blues & Heritage Festival, why not enjoy the scenic route and make some essential pit stops that will add to the entire experience? Here are some highlights to check out along the way.

Drive Through The Hot Spots Of Biloxi, Mississippi

Biloxi is a hotspot for casino activity and has the longest artificial white sand beach in the world. You'll find plenty of culinary delights here, including fresh seafood dishes, and Cajun and Creole specialties thanks to Biloxi's proximity to Louisiana. This area is flush with ancient oaks and hanging moss, adding beauty to the classic Southern charm of the city.

This is an ideal location for people who love live music because you can find live bands in most bars or venues, including inside the casinos. It's a great warm-up for the music festival in Bogalusa. Biloxi makes for a great day trip, but you can also park overnight at one of the many beach adjacent campgrounds.

While in Biloxi, don't forget to check out the Biloxi Lighthouse, play at one of the many casino resorts that have plenty of activities for the entire family, or partake in the bustling nightlife.
