Mardi Gras! Galveston 2022
"It was the first of two weekends for "Mardi Gras! Galveston. I was so excited to be celebrating Mardi Gras in Galveston after the event was canceled last year due to Covid-19. The celebration was filled with concerts, parades, balcony parties, colorful costumes, and tons of beads. It was great to be back in the crowds. The Strand is a stunning place to celebrate Mardi Gras"
