Thousands of Mardi Gras revelers celebrate Krewe of Neptune Biloxi night parade
As Fat Tuesday approached, thousands made their way to downtown Biloxi to watch dozens Mardi Gras floats ride in the 2026 Krewe of Neptune night parade.
The parade started on Main Street and weaved throughout downtown Biloxi before the floats finished on Porter Avenue at the Biloxi Lighthouse.
Thousands of people showed up prior to the parade to listen to live music, shop at the downtown businesses and secure a spot to catch the beads and throws from all the floats in the parade.
The parade started at 5:30 p.m. and featured appearances from the Biloxi Police Department, marching bands from high schools in the surrounding area and various floats. In total, there were 93 groups marching in this year’s parade.
