Gulf Shores Fat Tuesday Parade will follow beach route
Gulf Shores Mardi Gras parade to roll along the beach on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 21 beginning at 10 a.m. The parade staging will be on West Beach Boulevard and the route will go east along the beach road to the Gulf State Park Lodge.
City officials stated last year that the new route would be less intrusive for Gulf Shores residents and allow for traffic to flow more freely to Fort Morgan, West Beach and Orange Beach. Many of the floats will then continue toward Orange Beach to join the Orange Beach Mardi Gras Parade or circle back through Gulf State Park. Parking will be available at public lots, at businesses open during the parade and public roads that are not marked otherwise.
