Gulf Coast Italian American Society celebrates in Biloxi

Local Italian Americans and the community gathered for a day celebrating Italian culture in Biloxi.

The Gulf Coast Italian American Cultural Society held a family game day at Lighthouse Park. Guests enjoyed delicious food, games, music, and a silent auction while learning more about Italian culture in South Mississippi.

Here’s what the president and vice president of the society have to say. “More specifically, with this particular organization, that you don’t have to be Italian to be a part of it. We have people who are just generally interested in the Italian culture and want to be a part of it. Everybody wants to go to Italy. Everybody wants to go eat Italian food. Everybody wants to learn the language. So, we just want to bring that back into the community and just bridge that gap between the American and the Italian culture.”

October is Italian American Heritage and Culture Month. If you are interested in joining the cultural society, call 228-382-4166.
