The Mardi Gras Festival and Parade features eight
authentic floats handcrafted by world-renowned float designer, Kern
Studios. The intricately designed 16-foot tall floats will feature
a variety of themes including the Mardi Gras King and Queen, the
seasonal festival, Dia de los Muertos, and other celebrations from
around the world, like Rio’s Carnival.
Mardi Gras and music go hand-in-hand and the seven-member King
William Brass Band will be performing live at two locations along
the parade route as guests join the fun and “let the good times
roll.” Vibrant purple, gold and green beads will be in full supply
on every float and tossed to the waving crowd while stilt walkers
and street performers add to the revelry of bringing the spirit of
The Big Easy to the streets of Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
The high-energy parade will run at 5:30 p.m. through the
Rockville, Kidzopolis and Spassburg areas of the park. On Fridays,
March 24, March 31 and April 7, the parade will be presented at
3:30 p.m.
Food is another big part of the Mardi Gras experience. From King
Cakes and beignets to mouth-watering gumbo and jambalaya, Six Flags
Fiesta Texas is serving up plenty of Cajun cuisine. Adult beverages
like New Orleans Hurricanes and Southern Comfort Sweet Tea are also
on the menu. Festive New Orleans-inspired merchandise including
jester-style hats, shot glasses and novelty beads are available for
