PCB Mardi Gras and Music Festival

Picture an authentic Mardi Gras celebration set against Panama City Beach’s breathtaking emerald-green waters and sugar-white sands. Each year, the Panama City Beach Mardi Gras & Music Festival transforms Pier Park into a high-energy carnival by the sea. It’s complete with vibrant parades led by the famous Krewe of Dominique Youx, live music performances, and a bustling festival village with fun for all ages. This two-day festival, with free admission, is held the weekend before Fat Tuesday and offers everything from a kids’ fun zone to a spectacular fireworks finale lighting up the Gulf Coast sky. Whether you’re a local or a winter visitor escaping the cold, you’re invited to join the celebration and let the good times roll in true Panama City Beach style!
