Last checked Oct. 12, 2026. This page is updated each year. The City of Biloxi has not announced its 2027 Fourth of July plans, so this guide describes the 2026 celebration, from the city’s America250 announcement and July 2026 community calendar (PDF). It will be refreshed when the 2027 details are posted.

Biloxi’s big Fourth of July show is the Independence Day Fireworks Extravaganza, fired at 9 p.m. from a barge near Deer Island in the Mississippi Sound. The Boom Boom Committee hosts it, with sponsorship from the City of Biloxi and the Harrison County Board of Supervisors. The city says the show is visible from the beachfront between the Biloxi Lighthouse and the Biloxi Bay Bridge.
