Port Royal Mardi Gras Parade & Party

Laissez les bon temps rouler! The 2nd Annual Krewe of Port Royal Mardi Gras is marching back into the beautiful Town of Port Royal, SC.

Come celebrate and let loose on Saturday, February 22nd as The Town of Port Royal is turned into a lively festival of life, culture, and community; bringing the beads, music, floats, and all the excitement of Mardi Gras—Port Royal style.

Save the date and gather your krewe because the big parade starts at 4pm, following the same route as last year. Be sure to line up along Paris Avenue between 16th Street
(Anchor/Mariners Park) and 11th Street to catch all the action.

The parade will conclude at Shellring Ale Works, where the after-party kicks off with the band Kanola playing all your favorite New Orleans music, food trucks, a face painter, and activities for the kids to do.

It features a variety of irresistible, authentic New Orleans dishes with classics including
jambalaya, gumbo, beignets, crawfish, and more. Your senses will come to life as the air fills with the enticing aromas of Cajun and Creole spices, bringing the essence of New Orleans to life.
