Mobile, we highly recommend that you stop by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilecarnivalmuseum.com\/\">Mobile Carnival Museum<\/a> in the historic Bernstein-Bush house. You guessed it\u2014it&#8217;s a museum totally dedicated to Mardi Gras. The displays celebrate the birthplace of Mardi Gras and feature Mardi Gras royal robes, crowns and scepters as well as emblem costumes, favors and doubloons from Mobile mystic organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t want to miss experiencing the opulence of the royal coronations which are a longtime Mobile tradition. The <a href=\"https:\/\/mcamobile.com\/events\/\">Mobile Carnival Association<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/mamga.org\/events.html#\/\">Mobile Area Mardi Gras Association<\/a> both hold public ceremonies to install their \u201croyal courts,\u201d which each include a king and queen to preside over the festivities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two parades we particularly love are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilemask.com\/floral.html\">Floral Parade<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysticsoftime.org\/public\/\">Mystics of Time<\/a> parade. The Floral Parade and its 18 floats decorated with a Zoo Krewe theme will be March 1 at noon and again on Lundi Gras, March 3, at 11:30 am. Well known as one of Mobile&#8217;s most popular, the Mystics of Time parade will be March 1 at 5:45 pm. This year&#8217;s theme for MOT is Time Flies and the 20-float parade features dragons rolling down the streets of the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobilians from all walks of life join together to celebrate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilemask.com\/joe-cain.html\">Joe Cain Day<\/a> the Sunday before Mardi Gras. The joyous day of festivities starts with a 5K race culminating with a giant party in front of&nbsp;the Joe Cain house. MAMGA&#8217;s King Elexis I arrives at the foot of Government Street and precedes the Joe Cain Procession with a long motorcade. After the Joe Cain Procession, Le Krewe de Bienville parades at 5 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the biggest day of all is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday with <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.simpleviewinc.com\/simpleview\/image\/upload\/v1\/clients\/mobilebay\/Mardi_Gras_Schedule_2025_online_49a3ff44-c593-4739-b3ee-40ea2216c470.pdf\">parades<\/a> starting at 10 am and lasting into the evening!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading412904_5c09d7-66\">Iconic Spots To Hit During Mardi Gras In Mobile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you wondering where to eat in Mobile?
