It’s time to let the good times roll on the Alabama Gulf Coast with the 2023 Mardi Gras season culminating on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 21, with parades in Gulf Shores at 10 a.m., Orange Beach at 2 p.m. and LuLu’s Anniversary and boat parade at 10 a.m.

Perhaps the most interactive event on the schedule is Moon Pies on Main Street at The Wharf beginning at 4 p.m. on Feb. 20. It kicks off with a kids and pet parade and then at 6 p.m. the float parade will roll. A Spectra Laser Light Show will cap off the evening’s festivities after the last float passes down Main Street. Parking and admission are free but some of the kids’ activities will cost $5.
