Jeepin the Coast cruises across South Mississippi this week. Here’s the events list.

Expect to see thousands of Jeeps on Beach Boulevard this week as Jeepin the Coast returns for the sixth year.

About 2,000 Jeeps are already registered and more are expected to be out and about across the Mississippi Coast, said Jennifer Moran, founder of the event.

“Who doesn’t want to ride in a Jeep with no tops and no doors and enjoy the beautiful Gulf Coast?” she said.

The event begins Wednesday and continues through Sunday, May 31-June 4, with a parade, scavenger hunt and concerts for Jeepers, and also for local families and tourists.

Like Cruisin’ The Coast in October, Jeepin the Coast has a parade through downtown Long Beach and the opportunity for spectators to find some shade along the highway and watch as Jeeps roll by.

Only registered Jeeps also allowed to drive on the sand in Long Beach Friday and Saturday.
