Good morning, Biloxi.

Make-A-Wish Mississippi granted the wish of a Biloxi girl on Thursday at Traintastic in Gulfport—fulfilling her dream with a special event by the charity.

Last night, Resilient East Biloxi hosted a storm ready event that brought together nonprofits to share tips on home insurance, disaster training, and making meals from everyday canned goods+ the event aimed to help residents get ready for hurricane season.

EJ and Elizabeth are leaving the morning show for new roles, and new anchors Chloe Carter and Spencer Pullen will join Chief Meteorologist Ryan Mahan—starting Monday, June 30.

Nineteen restaurants across Mississippi have been named in Wine Spectator’s 2025 Restaurant Awards—honoring their exceptional wine lists and expertise; Biloxi winners include Thirty-Two, BR Prime Steakhouse, Coraline’s, Jia, Morton’s, Stalla Italian Kitchen, and White Pillars Restaurant and Lounge.

More than $3 million has been awarded to coastal wastewater projects by the Treasury’s RESTORE Act grants, with $1,700,919 set to connect 125 septic tanks in Jackson County and $1,368,081 to upgrade a pump station in Hancock County.

U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith celebrated the grants on Friday (the projects aim to reduce water contamination risks).

A 10-year-old girl named Mia Van Sittert in Latimer is raising money to help Coast children fight scoliosis and other rare diseases through her business Bakin’ My Way.
