After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Fayetteville Mardi Gras Parade will return for its 30th Anniversary on Feb 18 at 2p in Downtown Fayetteville.

• Float on: All are welcome to decorate and enter a float in the family-friendly Fat Saturday Parade of Fools, or register your business as a sponsor! All proceeds this year will support the work of Peace at Home Shelter.
• Dance and sing: This year's parade will be extra music-filled thanks to a partnership with Music Moves and the Black Music & Film Expo; the UAPB Marching Band will join the parade, followed by a performance by The Racy Brothers and Crescent City Combo at George's Majestic Lounge.
