Beads, beauties, and boogying along the Texas coast can only mean only thing: Mardi Gras in Galveston, Texas. New Orleans isn’t the only place that knows how to have a good time on Fat Tuesday! The 2017 Galveston, TX Mardi Gras extravaganza takes place the week of February 17th through February 28, and if parades, live entertainment, and wacky golf cart races interest you, it might be time to book your Sterling Realtors vacation rental today before we sell out!
Galveston, TX does Mardi Gras right—over 3 million beads are thrown out every year, and you can have the opportunity to be a part of the parade when you purchase a “ticket to ride!” We provide the float, beads, and even the balcony party; you get to provide the crew!
Two stages—the Budweiser stage and the Electric Mardi Gras stage—mean doubling your chances for boogying the week away when you buy a general admission ticket, and when you buy a balcony ticket, the bird’s eye view of crazy celebrants roaming the streets of Galveston increases your fun value exponentially!
Parades
Funky Uptown Umbrella Birgade– Register your own parade group or witness the decorative umbrellas fill the streets of downtown, while you dance the night away. Many more eventful activities take place during this Mardi Gras celebration.
