Visit Panama City Beach invites visitors and residents to celebrate Mardi Gras “Real. Fun. Beach” style at the annual Panama City Beach Mardi Gras and Music Festival, returning February 14-15, 2025. Combining the magic of an authentic Mardi Gras celebration with spectacular views of the destination’s sugar-white sand beaches and turquoise waters, this one-of-a-kind festival offers two days of fun for the whole family, with parades, kids’ activities, live music, and more.
In conjunction with the Krewe of Dominique Youx’s great Mardi Gras at the Beach parade, the free festival offers a lineup of activities for all ages, including a Kids Fun Zone and Festival Village, a kids’ parade, a Mardi Gras 5K Fun Run, fireworks, and live music at both Aaron Bessant Park and the Celebration Stage in Pier Park. The event welcomes multi-platinum country artist and Grand Ole Opry member Chris Janson as this year’s headliner, as well as other notable acts including Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, The Band Feel, Lost Bayou Ramblers, and Double Trouble Zydeco.
