Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras in Hattiesburg is more than just a celebration; it’s a reflection of the community’s unity and cultural richness. This year, we continue to celebrate years long traditions along with a few new ones. Parades, block parties, pub crawls, dance parties and a Mardi Gras ball offer something to do for everyone of all ages. This season in Hattiesburg is the perfect time to explore all of the exciting things that our city has to offer.
