Mardi Gras Southeast Texas has found a new home for 2025 - Doggett Ford Park. The annual event will stay in Beaumont and is scheduled Feb. 28-March 2 with the theme, "Life's a Beach."
The festival will include parades, KidzLand, wiener dog races, a block party on the plaza, masquerade balls, several marquee concerts and a vibrant celebration of Mardi Gras activities. Visit the food court for some rich festival favorites like king cakes, funnel cakes, gumbo, crawfish and much more or take a walk through the art, crafts and novelty vendors.
“Mardi Gras Southeast Texas is relocating the annual festivities to Doggett Ford Park, but the event’s core mission remains firmly rooted in supporting the founding nonprofit 501-c-4 organizations who provide essential services and benefits to those at need here in our community. We will stage a family-oriented affair, promote interaction among diverse ethnic groups and serve as an economic development project for Southeast Texas. MGSETX is dedicated to helping others and creating safe and memorable experiences for everyone involved.” Laura Childress, President of Mardi Gras Southeast Texas Inc.
Concert headliners and parade information will be announced as the event gets closer.
"We look forward to hosting a well-known and family-friendly event like Mardi Gras Southeast Texas here at our complex. It will be a wonderful three-day event as we Let the Good Times Roll in 2025," said OVG’s Claudio Oliveira, general manager of Doggett Ford Park
