Fireworks are arranged along the parade route to top it all of with a bang!

The Krewe of Gambrinus was formed in 1989 and throws the most AMAZING party for the City of Galveston with their "King Gambrinus Lights Up the Night Parade", held the first Saturday night of Mardi Gras Galveston. The Krewe of Gambrinus, named after the Patron Saint of Brewing (see below), was formed in 1989 with the first "Gambrinus Lights Up the Night", rolling in February 1990. As one of the two Galveston Super Parades, the Krewe launches 14 Huge Floats, and just as many marching bands, tossing over 600,000 beads and trinkets to over 300,000 screaming spectators. As we mentioned on the entry page, the Krewe of Gambrinus, is a not-for-profit organization, chartered for the support of tourism and underprivileged children in Galveston, Harris, and surrounding counties. Membership - Types of membership include Corporate and individual full or associate memberships. Corporate and full memberships include attendance to all events and a ride(s) on a float in the fabulous Gambrinus Lights up the Night parade along Seawall Boulevard in front of 200,000 of his closest friends. Associate members may attend all of the events and parties , but will not be assigned a space on the Mardi Gras parade floats. The Krewe conducts several gala parties during the year including the Coronation Ball and the Brew Ha Ha. The fabulous parade is conducted the first week-end of the Galveston Mardi Gras celebration.
