Asheville Mardi Gras Parade

Asheville’s Mardi Gras Parade celebration is rapidly growing as more and more sparkles, feathers, and beads show up each year to march in the annual parade with this year’s King and Queen, dancers, roller skaters, drummers and krewes of colorful characters. The high-energy slow-moving caravan starts at 3:05 PM—rain or shine. The 2024 theme will be “The Secret Garden.”
