Navarre Krewe of Jesters Mardi Gras Parade on Navarre Beach

The 34th annual Navarre Beach Mardi Gras parade will happen rain or shine on Saturday, February 15, on Gulf Blvd, Navarre Beach.

The parade starts at promptly at 1 pm.

Please note that the Santa Rosa County Sheriff will close the bridge around NOON (if not earlier.)

NKOJ has no control over when SRSD makes that decision so please don’t get left out because you waited too long and got caught in traffic.

The parade will happen rain or shine, and hasn’t EVER been rained on our parade since we started in 1986.

NKOJ recommends that if you come to the parade, please get onto the island and set up by 10 am. Parking starts to thin as soon as the sun rises and traffic across the bridge and from Pensacola beach gets more and more dense as the morning progresses.

This parade is awesome. In the last few years, we’ve had 35,000+ attendees.

The parade is family friendly so bring your kids, their chairs & strollers and plan to have a tailgate party early and make a day of it.

All of the Navarre Beach restaurants will be open, and it’s always great to be at the beach!

If you are considering entering a float for your business or group, it’s not too late – you can download the application here.
