Mardi Gras parade at PI, what time?

[strawberryblonde]

I've read about there being a Mardi Gras parade at Pleasure Island on the 1st and the 4th. Does anyone know what time they will be? Also, any news if they have been cancelled in the latest cutbacks. We would like to pop over the evening of the 4th and would like to time it to not miss it. Thanks.

The PI Mardi Gras celebration has not been cancelled, but it is not (and never was) a parade. It's a street party. There are no floats and things like at Universal, but there is special entertainment and bead tossers at the stages and along the streets.

Crawdaddio will be performing on the West End Stage, while Funky Blues Messiah (2/27-28) and Jammin’ Jambalaya (3/1 & 4) will liven things up in the PI Jazz Company. Stilt walkers and other street performers will be on hand to party with guests.

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
