GENERAL INFORMATION

Wednesday, July 29th - Sunday, August 2nd, 2026

Get ready to make a trek "back home" as we meet in Biloxi, Mississippi for the 2026 Bourne Family Reunion. Seated on the Gulf Coast, Biloxi is not the destination you typically think of when you think of Mississippi. It has many sand-beaches to lounge on, museums and historic sites, tasty seafood restaurants, and more. Ask anyone who went to the 2022 reunion, we are bound to have a great time in the city known as the "Vegas of the South." 

​

HOTEL

This year, the main hotel will be the Golden Nugget, with a secondary (and more kid friendly option) of Margaritaville. Feel free to choose whichever location works for your group.

 

Main

Golden Nugget Biloxi

151 Beach Blvd, Biloxi MS 39530

Group Code: S260358

• Luxury King: $144.99/night

• Luxury Queen: $164.99/night

In an effort to save you money and make things a little smoother, we have changed the hotel details. Previously, we were going to be staying at the IP Hotel & Casino, but we will now be staying at the

Golden Nugget! You can make reservations by calling the hotel Reservations Department directly (1-800-777-7568), or clicking this link. If you go through the link, the group rate will automatically be applied to your

booking. If you call to make a reservation, be sure to mention the group code (S260358) and/or that you are with the Bourne Family Reunion.

​

Our block (and room rates) will be reserved until July 7, 2026 or until the room block has been filled, whichever comes first. Check-in begins at 4pm, and check-out is by 11am. ALL hotel rooms are non-smoking. A $200 charge will be assessed for smoking in a hotel room. Rates are accessible for 3 nights before and after the reunion. The Meet & Greet and Banquet will now be at the Golden Nugget.

We will still have group rates at the Margaritaville for anyone looking for a more kid-friendly option, but please

note, this option is a bit pricier (hence the reason we made the switch to the Golden Nugget). Clicking this link will allow you to book rooms within our reunion block.
