Geckofest

Get ready to embrace the quirky spirit of Gulfport! The theme for this year's GECKOFEST is "Still Weird," a vibrant celebration of the very essence that makes our town so unique. This year, we're putting a spotlight on Gulfport's thriving arts scene and bohemian vibe. You know us—we're a hub for artists, musicians, writers, and all kinds of creatives, with streets bursting with colorful, independently owned shops, galleries, and boutiques. GECKOFEST is a tribute to our beloved gecko mascot and showcases this artistic, wonderfully quirky spirit. Expect to find live music, street performers, and one-of-a-kind handcrafted goods throughout the festival.
