We would like to thank everyone for their support of the Mardi Gras Parade. Due to the icy conditions in Old Towne and out of abundance of caution, the City of Olive Branch - Government and the Olive Twig Humanitarian Group have made the decision to cancel the 2026 Mardi Gras Parade. Safety remains the top priority for all parties involved. We are very grateful to our sponsors this year. Please visit these local businesses as most have been closed due to the winter weather.
We look forward to next year's parade Feb. 6th, 2027!!!💛💚💜💛💚💜
