Krewe de la Dauphine kicked off the first Mardi Gras parade of the season on Dauphin Island Saturday.
“O-M-G, I love this,” said Susan Clemons, first time celebrating Mardi Gras on the island. “It’s got a lot of good energy with it.”
People traveled from near and far, and some did not even know they struck gold on the island this weekend. “What’s all this going on here?” asked Karen Dennis when she first arrived on the island on Saturday. “Then, ‘oh Mardi Gras, great!’”“We love the throws, and we love the floats, and the joy in the atmosphere as you come down here,” said Larry Bartlett.
There was family-friendly fun on the island with roller skaters, live music, and dancing in the streets.“We have the Mobile Mardi Gras coming up, and we can’t wait,” said Bartlett. “We look forward to every single one of them.”Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
