“Diamondhead has an impressive waterfront, even though it’s not located directly on the Bay or the Gulf,” said City Manager, Mike Reso. “We’re looking forward to hosting an event that will bring people together to enjoy the beauty of Paradise Bayou and hope to see more people on kayaks, paddle boards and canoes in the future.”

 

An after party will be held at Lazy Gator Sports Bar & Steamer, which is located directly in front of the Diamondhead Marina from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.  There will be food and drink specials and live music by the Dave Mayley Band.
