GEARING UP FOR ‘GOULA CRUISE story by Katarina Luketich photo courtesy of the City of Pascagoula
I t’s almost time for thousands of classic cars to start Cruisin’ the Coast. Pascagoula will once again be an incentive stamp site for registered Cruisin’ participants. The three
day ‘Goula Cruise will be back at Beach Park on October 8, 9 and 10.
Beach Park is the hub of ‘Goula Cruise where thousands of classic cars park as visitors enjoy the cool breeze and all-day shade as well as the spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico. Vendors provide delicious local food as bands take the main
stage to play music all throughout the three day event. The ‘Goula Cruise committee is looking for volunteers,
sponsors, and vendors to help make this year’s event great. “Community support is the reason why ‘Goula Cruise becomes a better event each and every year. We could not do it without the help of dedicated volunteers and generous sponsors,” said ‘Goula Cruise Committee Chair Nicky Maxwell.
To register as a volunteer or sponsor, visit the ‘Goula Cruise page on cityofpascagoula.com.
