Back In 2025 For Its 74th Year: Saturday, Nov. 22!

Yes, we know it's early, but it seems folks are already excited about the NEXT Holiday Mardi Gras Parade coming this November. And over the years we have received enough questions about the name of our parade. (Curious? Click here to read the back story!)

So this year we are deciding to lean into the controversy. We are embracing the quirky name and celebrating ALL OF THE HOLIDAYS, not just Mardi Gras in November! Join us on Saturday, November 22, 2005 and dress up for your favorite holiday(s). Maybe you want to create a float for Halloween or Valentine's Day? Perhaps you'd like to perform music for one of the many holidays celebrating our country and its service men and women. Or maybe you'd like to honor holidays such as Ramadan, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas. It's all up to you!

In any case, you can register TODAY! Just click the button below to get started — and let your imagination run wild!
Thank You to Our Grand Marshal Sponsor:

One for the Books: The 2024 Mardi Gras Parade Was the Biggest Ever!

Thank you to EVERYONE for such an amazing day! Thousands of people lined the streets — and hundreds more marched, strolled, walked their dogs, paraded, played, and floated down Main Street on a seasonally chilly but otherwise gorgeous day, Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024.

Scroll down to see last year's float winners and photos. And we will see you again next year — remember, its always the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 22, 2025 — as Lansdale celebrates its 74th Mardi Gras, months before the rest of the world celebrates its Mardi Gras!

We appreciate the more than 100 entrants in 2024, many of whom carried through our theme of "Hollywood Holidays," and all of whom were absolutely amazing. While we can't give prizes to EVERYONE, here are our judges' and your choices!

And scroll down to see some great photos, just to keep the fun in mind!
