Springfield’s spin on Mardi Gras is back. Live music, brass bands, carnival performances, craft beer, food trucks (A Mouthful Jax, Pie Daddy, Honey Dripper House), and a vendor market all packed into Sesquicentennial Park. It’s family-friendly, dog-friendly, and, most importantly, free. The night ends with a Second Line Parade through Main Street, because it wouldn’t be Mardi Gras without one.

🎶 Lineup:
4p - Junco Royals
5:30p - Carnival & dance performances
6:30p - Few Fellas Brass Band
8p - Second Line Parade
