About This Issue
Happy Holidays and happy reading from all of us here at South Mississippi Living!
On this year’s cover you’ll see some very
festive penguins enjoying the sights and sounds
of Mississippi Aquarium’s A Magical Mississippi Christmas, presented by Gulfport Coca-Cola® Bottling Company, UNITED. This brand new holiday event features a mesmerizing projection mapping show where the Aquatic Wonders
building comes to life to tell the story of four animated penguins as they embark on an adventure across Mississippi in a larger-than-life Christmas spectacular.
This December, we’re also focused on philanthropy with our Guide to Giving Back section, sponsored by local businesses that give generously every day. Whether you’re looking for ways to get involved or searching for charities
to support with time or donations, this section highlights the spirit of giving back. We’re proud to showcase so many remarkable organizations on the Coast, and we extend special thanks to the United Way of South Mississippi for providing these listings!
In our Leisure section, don’t miss the holiday magic happening at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino! From their extravagant Christmas decorations
to The Nutcracker, performed by the Mississippi
Gulf Coast Ballet Theatre, there’s no shortage of seasonal cheer. And if you’re looking for even more activities this month, check out our Calendar of Events for a full lineup.
And, of course, every magazine includes our tried and true sections, including Coast Notes, Dining, Home, Shopping, and Healthy Living. We hope you enjoy this month’s magazine as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.
Love
