The 6th Annual Mardi Gras Parade of Beads will take place at the EpiCentre, 201 East Trade Street, on Tuesday, February 28th, 2017. It’s free and open to the public. A VIP ticket gets you a bunch more stuff, plus admission into all the venues. Scroll down for a half-price deal!
The event starts at 7 p.m., with the parade kicking off at 8 p.m. with marching bands, street performers and community organizations participating.
The parade is free, but if you’d like to take it up a notch, buy a ticket for $15 and you’ll get a Mardi Gras t-shirt, hurricane cup, beads and admission into participating EpiCentre venues. With fees, that price is $18.19. But, there’s a Groupon right now to get a ticket for $9. Buy it today (February 14th), using the promo GIFTNOW and get an additional 20% off.
