Let the Good Times Roll!
Every Mardi Gras season, the streets of Galveston come alive with music, beads, colorful floats and one of the event's most heartwarming traditions: the Shriners Children's Texas Mardi Gras Parade.
Our patients, families, staff and Shriners from across Texas come together to celebrate the amazing kids we serve. From mini-cars and clowns to dazzling floats and plenty of Mardi Gras spirit, this parade puts our patients center stage as the true stars of the show.
Join us in celebrating a tradition that brings smiles, community and hope to Galveston year after year.
