The 2024 Lundi Gras parade in Bay St. Louis held many great surprises. Before the parade, participants were treated to a tailgate party at the historic train depot. In spite of a rainy start to the day, the weather cleared for the evening parade. The Krewe adopted a new parade route this year. And country music sweethearts Chapel Hart served as parade Grand Marshals, to the delight of the crowd!

The St. Paul Carnival Association, founded in 1930, held its annual parade on Sunday, February 11. In all, there were 87 units, making the Pass Parade one of the largest on the Coast. The weather forecast didn't dampen the spirits at the parade, and most of the rain held off long enough for parade-goers to stay dry!

On Saturday, January 21, CASA of Hancock County held their annual Mardi Gras Gala. The event, their biggest fundraiser of the year, helps CASA continue their work helping abused and neglected children in Hancock County. This year’s theme was “The Great Gatsby,” and as you can tell by the photos, attendees embraced that theme by dressing in gorgeous period garb. Trent Favre was crowned king, and Natalie Guess was crowned queen. An online silent auction was another fun component of this year’s event.
