Get ready to party, PK style! The Mardi Gras Store at the chamber will be opening mid-February—your one-stop shop for themed outfits and parade items.
2025 Mardi Gras Parade
There is no charge or entry fee to have an entry in the parade; we just need an entry form.
The parade route will begin at the Main Public Boat Ramp (#3) (across from The Retreat) and end at the Lions Club. You will need to be in line no later than 2:15 p.m. You may use any road-worthy vehicle for your float entry. You may pull a trailer. Please decorate your vehicle and trailer to resemble a float. Mardi Gras colors are purple, green and gold, but you are not restricted to these colors. Remember gaudy, flashy, glitzy and silly are the themes of the day!
There will be prizes for the best three floats in both the individual and business categories that will be given out at the Shrimp Boil in the evening. Remember the parade has a G rated audience and BRA will give tickets for open containers. Let your friends and neighbors know about the parade and encourage them to enter a float also! Enter a neighborhood float!
Each entry will be assigned a number for judging. Please check in and pick up your number from the parade chairmen at the boat ramp as soon as you arrive; attach the number to each side of your entry. It is necessary to have a visible number to be judged.
The chamber will have throw beads and float decorations for sale mid-February. Experience tells us you will need at least a case of beads to throw. Candy or other G-rated items may also be thrown. If your float displays your business name it is “Business” if it does not it is “Individual”.
Contact the chamber office at 940-779-2424 if you need more information.
Please fill out this form completely and return it to us as soon as possible.
