About Mardi Gras! Galveston
Mardi Gras, the traditional festival of feasting and merrymaking that
precedes the season of Lent, was first publicly observed on Galveston Island
in 1867. Following a sabbatical imposed in 1941 by war and challenging
times, Mardi Gras! Galveston was revived in 1985 by Galveston-born
preservationist and developer George P. Mitchell. The largest celebration of
its kind in Texas and the third largest in the nation, Mardi Gras!
Galveston brings the island’s streets to life with parade viewers shouting
for beads, lively tunes played by colorful marching bands, and the
infectious merriment that dominates the island for two full weeks. For more
