ParadeEvents

Feb 18

Another unforgettable celebration has come and gone in Downtown St. Marys, and what a night it was! Fat Tuesday 2026 brought color, community, and celebration together along the waterfront in true Mardi Gras style.

As the sun set, the streets began to glow. Decorated golf carts, illuminated floats, sparkling beads, and flashing lights transformed Downtown St. Marys into a vibrant parade route full of energy and excitement. Families lined the streets, music filled the air, and the entire community showed up ready to celebrate.

The Parade That Lit Up the Night ✨

The illuminated parade kicked off the evening in spectacular fashion. From creatively decorated carts to festive costumes and glowing accessories, participants truly brought their A-game. Every corner of the route shimmered with purple, green, and gold.

The best part? The smiles. Kids waving for beads, neighbors cheering each other on, and friends gathering together to enjoy a night out in our beautiful waterfront town.

Party in the Park 🎶

After the parade wrapped up, the celebration continued at Waterfront Park with live music, dancing, and plenty of festive fun. The energy stayed high as the crowd gathered for a concert under the night sky — proving once again that St. Marys knows how to throw a party.

The waterfront provided the perfect backdrop for an evening filled with laughter, lights, and lasting memories.
