Here's What You Could Win!
That's a "Mega Mardi Gras! Madness" celebration that you'll never forget, compliments of The Tremont House and Hotel Galvez!
Mardi Gras, the traditional festival of feasting and merrymaking that precedes the season of Lent, has been publicly observed on Galveston Island as early as 1867 and later revived in 1985 by Galveston-born preservationist and developer George P. Mitchell. Since 1985, Mardi Gras! Galveston, as the event is now known, has grown dramatically in size and scope. Now expanding over two weekends, the event is coordinated by the City of Galveston in conjunction with participating Krewes. Mardi Gras! Galveston is celebrated with an entertainment district, parades, masked balls and art exhibits. Galveston has also revived the tradition of celebrating a different theme each year.
