Waveland Veterans Parade
The City of Waveland will host a Veterans Parade on Saturday, November 13 at 11am on Coleman Avenue. Brave men and women have served our country for more than two centuries, sacrificing much in order to protect our freedoms. We want to celebrate and honor them for their service. |
What's Up, Waveland
is sponsored by 
|
Holding the parade on a Saturday allows the youth of our community not only to attend or participate in the parade, but to learn about civic pride. Our hope is that they will carry on this tradition.
Veterans of the Bay/Waveland and Hancock County areas are invited to participate by riding in the parade. We also encourage groups who would like to march in the parade, and any individuals or businesses interested in sponsoring the event, to contact us. Most of all, we want members of our community to join together in honoring our veterans by attending the parade.
If you are a veteran, if you are a part of a group who would like to participate, or if your business would like to become a sponsor, please contact Kristen Tusa at 228-209-7399 or email kristentusa@gmail.com.
We look forward to honoring the brave men and women of our community.

Highway 90 and Waveland Avenue
Several people have called me asking about the activity on the corner of Highway 90 and Waveland Avenue.
I wish I could report that the activity was the start of new commercial development. In fact, the property owner is leasing the lot to an oil company so their offshore oil workers have a place to park their cars. The City of Waveland has made an agreement with the company to compensate Waveland police officers for working security details in the parking lot, to ensure the safety of the workers and their vehicles.
