FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

City of Picayune Cancels Highland Parkway Lighting Ceremony Due to Weather

PICAYUNE, MS (June 16, 2026) — Due to the weather and flooding impacting our city, the Highland Parkway Lighting Ceremony scheduled for tonight is officially cancelled.

Our resources and attention are currently focused on the safety and well-being of our citizens, neighbors, and local businesses affected by the flooding.

While we are not holding a public event, the new streetlights on Highland Parkway have been successfully installed and will still illuminate the corridor tonight as planned. We are incredibly grateful for the collaboration that made this vital project possible. We extend our sincere thanks to our partners at Highland Community Hospital and Forrest Health for their financial contribution, as well as the MS Power Lighting Group, the Coast Electric Power Association, and Dungan Engineering for their tireless efforts and expertise in bringing this project to completion.

We appreciate the community’s understanding. Please prioritize your safety and remember to stay off flooded roads and watch out for your neighbors!

🚨UPDATE🚨 Due to the high levels of rain today and the weather we're expecting over the next few days, we have made the decision to cancel Family Food Truck Night for now. Even if the weather clears up, the outdoors space will be mush for a few days. We will let you know of a new date when that becomes available.

We are watching the weather this week and will make a call by Thursday evening. Prayers that all of this rain clears out. 🙏🏼
