About the 2024 Feis
October 5, 2024 - Feisin' the Coast
This feis was themed around the 1950's and classic cars, including trophy specials with 1950's dress up themes and unique awards. Cultural competitions in art, baking, language, music, and singing also happened this day as well as a dance contest for kids 7 and under. We rounded out the day with a parade of champions for all our 1st place champ dancers.
This feis was full dress.
October 6, 2024 - Mississippi Gulf Coast Feis
The Sunday feis was all things coastal, beach, and fun! This feis was eco-friendly with biodegradable or earth-friendly awards whenever possible, and the use of technology to limit paper consumption during the feis. Beach and coastal Mississippi themed trophy specials were on the syllabus.
Black and white attire with no wigs and minimal makeup were recommended for this feis.
