Annual Port Royal Mardi Gras Parade & Party

Laissez les bon temps rouler! The 3rd 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 7th 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, with line up at 3pm, 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 an exciting Battle of the Bands featuring Whale Branch High School and Battery
Creek High School. Attendees can also enjoy an after-party with food trucks,
music, and a face painter for kids, making it a fun-filled time for the entire family.

The Krewe of Port Royal Mardi Gras Parade is a community-focused event
celebrating a far from ordinary spin on the spirit of Mardi Gras. Residents and
visitors are encouraged to bring their friends, families, and festive spirits for an
unforgettable afternoon and evening.

Registration to participate is required and may be done by contacting Port Royal
OVA through their Facebook page with details about your unit (vehicles, walkers,
float size) or by visiting Port Royal Town Hall in person to obtain an application.

Don’t miss this family-friendly celebration of Mardi Gras traditions, music, food, and
fun! Mark your calendars, invite your friends and family, and come dressed in your best
Mardi Gras attire to join in the revelry.

This year’s Mardi Gras event will be unforgettable and you will not want to miss it!
