Farmerville's very first Mardi Gras Parade was in 2007. The first parade was such a huge success, that we decided to make it an annual event. 2008 marked our 2nd Annual Mardi Gras Parade, and it too was a great success!
The parade is held on the Saturday before Fat Tuesday each year, beginning at 6:00 P.M. Line-up for the parade will begin at 5:30 P.M. each year at the Farmerville High School parking lot. Farmerville High School is located at 300 Anthony Street in Farmerville. Registration amount for this event is free, but your vehicle or float must have a Mardi Gras theme, in order to participate. For more information on this event, please contact the Farmerville Jaycees at 368-0044 or jaycees@lawatermelonfestival.com.
