🎉🎭 PARADE WEEK IS HERE! 🎭🎉

Some people come for the music.
Some come for the food.
But let’s be honest…

👉 A LOT of people come JUST for the PARADE!

🚒🎺 The LaMardiGras Parade is one of our biggest traditions — loud, colorful, bead-flying, kid-cheering, wave-until-your-arm-hurts kind of fun.

👑 Parade King & Queen
🎶 Music & marching
🎭 Beads, costumes, and surprises
👀 And yes… you’ll want to WATCH THOSE BEADS this year 👀

🎉 How to join the fun:
• Enter a float
• Walk or roll with a group
• Or grab a spot along the route and be a legendary spectator

📍 Parade Maps & Setup Info are posted here ⬇️
(👉 swipe / tap / zoom — plan ahead!)

🗓 Saturday | Parade starts at 11 AM
Get there early, bring your people, and claim your spot!

💜💛💚 Whether you’re marching IN the parade or cheering FROM the sidelines — you are part of what makes LaMardiGras special.

🎭✨ Let’s show out, Lamar! ✨🎭

🎉👑 KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PARADE! 👑🎉

This year’s LaMardiGras Parade is bringing more than beads… it’s bringing SURPRISES!

👑 Parade King & Queen Beads = FREE STUFF!
Our Parade King & Queen will still be tossing beads—but FOUR lucky spectators could catch a special oversized medallion bead with a hidden message inside 👀✨
Think:
🎟️ Free event entry
🎫 10 FREE tickets
…and other fun surprises!
➡️ Tip: Watch those beads closely… the big ones could be BIG wins!

🎨🎭 Kids Zone = Extra Fun This Year!
We’re excited to roll out a NEW kids photo booth kiosk in the children’s area—perfect for capturing those LamardiGras memories 📸💜💛💚

Plus, all the favorites are back:
👕 T-shirts created by Texas State Forestry outreach
🎨 Hands-on crafts like painted oyster shells and plaster art
🖍️ Creative fun for kids of all ages
