he road to Mardi Gras is expectedly paved with beads and baubles. Galveston Mardi Gras is a family event
by day and evening and an adult soiree by night with unique and unexpected places to enjoy the parade and
T find treasures that only the Island has to offer. Along 25th street, in the historical downtown Strand area, the
parades make their way to the festival area, but it also offers many free, out of the gates opportunities for catching the
prized beads or “throws”, which date back to traditions of the 1920’s.
