💙💛 GCCA WALKING WITH PURPOSE! 💛💙

Gulf Coast Carnival Association is proud to support the Gulf Coast Down Syndrome Society Buddy Walk!

We believe the true magic of our community goes far beyond Mardi Gras. It’s found in the friendships we build, the lives we touch, and the love we share along the way.

We celebrate inclusion, spread awareness, and stand alongside the incredible individuals and families who remind us that our differences make our community even more beautiful.

Because the greatest thing we can celebrate isn’t just Carnival season — it’s each other!

Rock ’N Roll Over Spotlight:
Meet Diana!

Presented by GCCA 2025 Queen Ixolib, Hannah Warren.

Diana is an adorable 3-year-old Pomeranian who is smart, social, playful, and sweet. She loves car rides, meeting new friends, cuddling, and sleeping beside her people.

Meet this little superstar at HSSM’s Rock ’N Roll Over: School of Rock on Friday, August 14, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi!

⚡️Rock 'N Roll Over: School of Rock Spotlight: Meet Diana!⚡

This 3-year-old Pomeranian is the total package: active, smart, social, and absolutely adorable. Diana loves being on the go, whether she’s hitting the road for a car ride or making new friends with everyone she meets. She rarely barks, loves people, enjoys cats, and would likely rock it with another dog her size and energy level. 🎶

But when the concert is over? This little superstar is all about cuddles and cozy time. Diana LOVES sleeping in bed with her people and is happiest when she can be right by your side. She’s highly intelligent and has been working hard on her house training while in her foster home, and she uses the potty pads like a pro!

And just when you thought she couldn’t get any sweeter… Diana’s foster parents love her so much that they’re even willing to offer dog-sitting services for her future family! That’s how you know this little girl is an absolute ANGEL.

Diana will be ready to take center stage at HSSM’s Rock ’N Roll Over: School of Rock this Friday night, August 14th, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi!🎤

Diana is being presented by Gulf Coast Carnival Association's 2025 Queen, Hannah Warren.
