Mississippi Aquarium fundraiser ‘Hancock Whitney Sea of Stars’
The Mississippi Aquarium’s annual fundraiser, which debuted in 2018 as Hancock Whitney Splash Bash, returns this fall with a fresh new look, feel, and name.
Hancock Whitney Sea of Stars is the new name and it is scheduled for Friday, October 1st at Jones Park.
The community celebration, which is free to the public, will feature food, music, and a first-of-its-kind-on-the-Coast drone lights and fireworks show.
The event will kick off ‘Gulfport Weekend,’ a collaboration to bring three days of family-oriented festivities to downtown Gulfport. Mississippi Aquarium President and CEO Kurt Allen said, “We built out community on three pillars: education, conservation, and community. The community focus for us is really important and to be able to partner with the other groups in the community and really support the community is something that we can do to give back because the community has been such a great supporter of the aquarium and downtown Gulfport. So, we are really happy that we are able to bring everybody together.”
