The event will be volunteer based with skaters and community supporters helping to clean up the park grounds, repair and fix ramps and paint and refresh obstacles at the skatepark.
The sessions will take place at the Biloxi DIY Skatepark, a community space originating in 2023 to provide a safe and accessible location for local skaters.
The grants, awarded to nonprofits, schools and local governments, will fund educational and celebratory programs that highlight Mississippi's role in American history.
The event will begin with a parade at 1 p.m. Activities in the park will start at 1:30 p.m. and continue throughout the day, ending with fireworks after dark.
