The Orange Beach Mardi Gras Parade is one of the most anticipated events in Orange Beach, AL each year, featuring fun floats, fun costumes, and a lively atmosphere. The parade showcases the cultural heritage of the area, with participants from local businesses, organizations, and schools joining together to celebrate Mardi Gras!

Orange Beach was introduced to the Mardi Gras festivities in the early 20th century when locals started organizing parades and parties to celebrate the carnival season. Over the years, the event has grown in popularity and has become a traditional celebration in the community.

One of the highlights of the Orange Beach parade is its beautiful beachside setting. As the floats roll along the coast, parade goers are treated to breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico. The combination of the colorful floats against the backdrop of the gulf creates a magical experience.

Year after year, the Orange Beach Mardi Gras Parade brings joy and excitement to residents and visitors alike. It’s a celebration that brings people together and celebrates the traditional Mardi Gras experience!
