Mobile Unveils New Mardi Gras Float | Mobile News

Mobile’s got big plans for Mardi Gras 2027 — a brand-new, custom-built float featuring beloved local icons like the Bienville Square fountain and the Crichton Leprechaun, designed to carry city officials through the parade. Worth $55,725, the contract with Mirth Artists is set for its first reading, with the city supplying a ten-ton wagon as the foundation. This isn’t just about spectacle — it’s a bold statement of pride, showcasing Mobile’s unique heritage and culture while ensuring a powerful local presence during the festivities. City council approval is expected soon, and if greenlit, construction will begin immediately — setting the stage for a dazzling, tradition-rich celebration that could become a new Mardi Gras staple for years to come.
