Get ready to let the good times roll! Our annual March to Mardi Gras transforms Broadway into a sea of purple, green, and gold. Kicking off at 4:00 PM, this family-friendly parade features festive floats, decorated golf carts, and our famous "Second Line" umbrella walkers. Grab a spot along the route to catch some beads, or register your own Krewe to join the fun as we march to Main Street!

Mardi Gras on Main is a celebration for all ages! Head over to our designated Kid’s Zone for an evening of excitement that won’t cost a thing. We are packing the area with fun activities, games, and entertainment designed just for kids. Whether they are getting their face painted or playing with friends, it’s the perfect spot for families to join the festivities.

No festival is complete without great food and unique shopping! We are filling Main Street with an exciting array of food and drink vendors offering everything from quick bites to refreshing beverages. While you eat, explore the rows of craft and artisan booths featuring handmade items from local creators. There is something for everyone to taste and treasure along the route!

Join us at the Main Stage for an evening of live entertainment and street dancing! The festivities begin with a live opener, building up to our headlining performance by Curtis Poullard and the Creole Zydeco Band from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The stage is set up directly on the street to create plenty of room for fun, so bring a lawn chair to relax or grab a partner and enjoy the Zydeco rhythms on our open-air dance floor.

At 5:30 PM, the party hits the pavement for La Porte’s Largest Line Dance! We are calling on all attendees to flood Main Street and join us for a massive group dance session featuring all the classic hits you know and love. No registration is required—just jump into the line, follow the music, and help us create a spectacular moment of community fun right before the headlining band takes the stage.

Take a break from dancing and get ready for a sugar-fueled battle at 7:00 PM! Our King Cake Eating Contest pits hungry competitors against one another in a race to finish their festive treats first. Expect flying frosting, cheering crowds, and a whole lot of fun as we find out who can handle the sweetness. It’s a classic Mardi Gras tradition with a competitive twist!
