Fairs & Festivals - Parade
Genre
Mardi Gras, the traditional festival of feasting and merrymaking that precedes the season of Lent, was
first publicly observed on Galveston Island in 1867. Following a sabbatical imposed in 1941 by war and
challenging times, Mardi Gras! Galveston was revived in 1985 by Galveston-born preservationist and
developer George P. Mitchell. The largest celebration of its kind in Texas and the third largest in the
nation, Mardi Gras! Galveston brings the island’s streets to life with parade viewers shouting for beads,
lively tunes played by the colorful marching bands, and the infectious merriment that dominates the island
for two full weeks.
