Bay St. Louis, Mississippi – Lake LaCroix RV Resort has announced an expanded two-day Fourth of July celebration for residents and their guests, as part of its ongoing commitment to fostering a connected, family-friendly environment within the growing RV community it serves. The event, scheduled for July 3rd and 4th, 2025, marks a significant milestone in the resort’s evolution from a short-term travel stop into a year-round residential destination.
Positioned just outside the historic and coastal town of Bay St. Louis, Lake LaCroix RV Resort has steadily cultivated a reputation for its peaceful natural setting, modern amenities, and increasingly robust calendar of community programming. The upcoming holiday event underscores the resort’s broader strategy to build engagement and provide meaningful experiences for both long-term residents and seasonal guests.
The Fourth of July celebration will begin on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 3rd, with a series of family-oriented activities including a bounce house available throughout the day, a decorated golf cart parade, children’s crafts, and an evening performance by a live band beginning at 5:00 p.m. Following the musical performance, guests will gather near the lakefront to enjoy a fireworks display organised by the resort. Programming will continue into the holiday itself, with the bounce house returning for July 4th daytime fun and another live band performance in the early evening.
This year’s celebration differs from previous iterations in both scale and duration. The resort’s operational team has introduced additional activity stations and entertainment providers to reflect the increasing number of families with children now staying at the park. Guests from surrounding areas including Harrison, Hancock, and Pearl River counties, as well as southern Louisiana, have made Lake LaCroix their summer home, contributing to higher engagement and a stronger sense of neighbourhood-style interaction.
A spokesperson for the resort described the Fourth of July program as a reflection of a broader vision. “Lake LaCroix RV Resort has grown into something more than a holiday retreat,” the spokesperson said. “We’re seeing a consistent community forming here, one that includes families, retirees, and long-term travellers looking for a safe, well-maintained, and socially enriching place to stay. This event is an extension of that growth and a way to celebrate the people who are helping build this community.”
While the tone of the festivities is celebratory, the event also plays a role in the resort’s deeper mission to foster inclusion and build long-term guest satisfaction. Rather than offering a transient, transactional experience typical of many RV parks, Lake LaCroix continues to prioritise programming that contributes to resident well-being and sustained engagement. Activities such as holiday-themed events, children’s programming, and live performances serve as both entertainment and tools for community building.
In recent years, the resort has made targeted investments to support this model, including upgrades to recreational spaces, improved landscaping for family use, and expanded event infrastructure to support outdoor gatherings. These enhancements have laid the foundation for events like the July 3rd–4th celebration, which has quickly become a central date in the resort’s annual calendar.
According to the resort’s leadership team, planning began several months in advance and involved coordination with local vendors and entertainment professionals to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for residents of all ages. With safety remaining a top priority, access to the event will be limited exclusively to current residents and their registered guests, in accordance with resort policy.
“Residents want to feel connected, not just to the place they’re staying but to the people around them,” the spokesperson added. “We are doing more than offering space for an RV. We are cultivating an environment that supports connection, celebration, and belonging. The Fourth of July is a perfect time to reflect on the values of community and independence, both of which are central to our mission.”
The decorated golf cart parade, a tradition introduced in recent years, is expected to draw widespread participation again in 2025. Guests are encouraged to begin planning their cart designs in advance, with prizes awarded for the most creative and festive entries. The children’s crafts station, operated by the resort’s activity coordinators, will feature patriotic-themed projects tailored to various age groups.
Lake LaCroix RV Resort continues to see growth in both occupancy and community retention, with more guests opting for extended stays or returning seasonally each year. With this growth comes a responsibility to maintain high standards of hospitality and guest support. The resort has recently updated its reservation and cancellation policies to improve flexibility for guests travelling from greater distances. This includes the introduction of credit-based refunds for cancellations made under specific timelines and enhanced booking communication for holiday weekends such as Independence Day.
Located in a wooded setting with convenient access to coastal amenities, Lake LaCroix RV Resort offers a balance of nature, comfort, and social enrichment. The resort’s long-term strategy includes further investment in infrastructure and the development of autumn and winter events designed to sustain community interest beyond the summer season.
The two-day Fourth of July celebration is expected to be the resort’s largest event of the summer. Residents are encouraged to participate in the full program of activities, not only as a celebration of the holiday but as a reflection of the vibrant and welcoming community that continues to define the resort’s identity.
