Gulf Coast Fair officially opens at Coast Coliseum

BILOXI, Miss. (WXXV)- The Gulf Coast Fair kicked off at the Coast Coliseum Thursday afternoon.

From carnival rides and games to funnel cakes and corn dogs, this year’s fair has something for everyone.

New this year is a circus featuring trapeze performances and other entertainment under the big top.

This is the only chance to ride carnival rides at the Coliseum this year as there will not be a summer fair and the annual Crawfish Music Festival will not have fair rides.

Doors will be open each night starting at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on weekends until April 4.

Tickets are between $30 to $35 each night and that will get you admission and a wristband for rides.
