There are six First Fridays set for 2026 (March, April, May, June, July and September). First Fridays take place at the HowHop Creative District (under the I-110 at the corner of Howard Ave and Hopkins Blvd. The July event will take place on the Biloxi Town Green. We will accept the following vendors: clothing, jewelry, art (painting, pottery, etc.), woodworking, crafts, specialty foods, misc. Each vendor will be designated one space. Each space is 15 feet wide by 10 feet deep. Set-up time begins at 3 p.m. NO EARLY SET UPS ARE ACCEPTABLE. You will be expected to pay Mississippi State Sales Tax before leaving the event. If you fail to pay or turn in signed form you will not be allowed to return to the event. You must obtain the First Friday "Shingle" from Biloxi Community Development, Dr. MLK Jr. Blvd. You must already have a business license in order to get the "shingle". Ask for the "shingle" for First Friday (this will prevent you from having to go back each month). The Community Development phone number is 228-435-6266. Call them for either the license or the shingle. Please NOTE: The July event is on Saturday, July 4th on the Biloxi Town Green. Space is limited for that event.
