The Fayetteville Mardi Gras Parade returns for its 30th Anniversary this Saturday, Feb 18, at 2p in Downtown Fayetteville.

• Float on: This year's parade will be led by Grand Marshall Jermmy Gawthrop and honor Michelle Hale and Jon Rose as King & Queen of Fayetteville Mardi Gras. All proceeds raised 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.
