The third annual Jeep-a-Gras, hosted by the Carnival Association of Long Beach, is just around the corner, set to take place January 12 and 13 in the Friendly City.
The weekend includes several events, beginning with Jeep-a-Greet, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Friday, January 12. That will be followed by a parade on Saturday, January 13, at 6 p.m. and then a 9 p.m. Jeep-A-Gras event afterwards.
Jeeps participating in the parade will line up at Long Beach High School beginning at 2 p.m. on January 13 and will roll through downtown Long Beach at 6 p.m.
Registration for Jeepers who want to sign up to be a part of the parade can be completed online by visiting the Jeep-a-Gras 2024 Facebook page or in person at the Jeep-a-Greet on Friday, January 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. Proof of insurance must be submitted in order to participate in the parade procession.
Last year, one hundred thirty-seven Jeeps rolled down the Long Beach parade route, with Jeepers driving to South Mississippi from states as far as Florida and Iowa.
The parade is free, and everyone is invited to line the parade route on January 13 and enjoy the festivities.
