Pensacola Mardi Gras
Parades, Route Information, and Glittery Details
It’s a tale old as time. Rich feasts, swanky costumes, glittery gold, and more celebrate Carnival.
With deep French roots, it’s no wonder Pensacola was the stomping grounds for one of the first Mardi Gras celebrations in the United States. As the new year turns, beads swarm and Moon Pies fly overhead as the sounds of laughter and music fill the streets. Passionate krewes, extravagant parades, and decorated floats become the talk of the town and you’re invited to the party. Catch all of the events, beads, and more below.
