Ocean Springs will host multiple Mardi Gras parades in early 2026, with organizers posting the schedule on Facebook. The post lists the Ocean Springs Elks Parade at 1 p.m. and the Krewe of Unique Parade at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31. It also lists an Ocean Springs Night Parade at 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, and notes Fat Tuesday on Feb. 17.
The Facebook post did not provide route details or additional logistics. Organizers typically use social media to announce parade times and updates, and residents often look to those channels for changes or safety notices.
Mardi Gras is a seasonal celebration observed in many Gulf Coast communities and culminates on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. Local krewes, civic groups and volunteer organizations commonly stage parades featuring floats and community participation.
For Ocean Springs, Mardi Gras events can be an important part of local culture and attract attendees from across the region. The schedule gives residents and visitors dates to plan around while municipal departments coordinate traffic and public safety.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
