Mardi Gras in Pensacola has grown each year over the past decade and the Pensacola Mardi Gras Grand Parade (link) alone draws 60-90 thousand people annually to downtown Pensacola. In fact, our town loves a parade so much that, in addition to Mardi Gras, we hold parades celebrating Christmas, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and Fiesta of Five Flags too.
