Mobile’s New Mardi Gras Float Unveiled | Huntsville News

Mobile’s city council is set to vote on a bold new Mardi Gras float designed to celebrate the city’s quirky, vibrant soul — complete with a squirrel under an oak tree, the viral Crichton Leprechaun, and iconic landmarks like the Ketchum Fountain and Bankhead Tunnel. Created by local artists Mirth Artists, this $45K float aims to replace the outdated boxcar design and give visitors a dazzling first impression of Mobile’s unique culture. The project, ready by December 22, blends history, humor, and pride — turning a viral legend into a parade centerpiece that unites residents and tourists alike.
