Pensacola Mardi Gras is a multi-week celebration, lasting from Twelfth Night through Fat Tuesday, bringing people together from across the Gulf Coast and the country. Pensacola’s Mardi Gras celebrates multiple cultures and customs with a unique local flair that only Pensacola, Florida can offer. Each year, Pensacola’s Mardi Gras draws in over 100,000 people for its main event, the Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade, which takes place in downtown Pensacola on the Saturday before Fat Tuesday. This event is a celebration of culture, music, food, art, and most of all, family fun.
Pensacola prides itself on being a family-friendly celebration which separates us from other Gulf Coast celebrations taking place in nearby cities such as Mobile, Biloxi and New Orleans. Our events include something for all ages to ensure the whole family is comfortable celebrating Mardi Gras in all of its unique splendor and magic. Fun and celebration during an entire season of activities is sure to develop memories for a lifetime. With these ideals in place, Pensacola Mardi Gras, Inc. works to expand each Mardi Gras season to insure the best Mardi Gras celebration possible for guests of all ages.
