Mardi Gras in Dallas

Can't make it to New Orleans this year for Mardi Gras?

Never fear, the spirit of Mardi Gras lives on right here in Big D. It's nothing as elaborate as New Orleans-style Mardis Gras, but it promises to be a fun event nonetheless.

The organizers have been putting on this even for a few years now, but this year's event seems to be on a much smaller scale. What do you expect? We're in a recession.

Mardis Gras comes to Dallas!!!

Get ready for Mardi Gras 2008 in Victory Park! The city seems to be committed to making Dallas the "NYC" of the South. 1st it was New Year's in Victory Park and now this. I'll be there. What about you???

MystiQal is all about the true New Orleans Mardi Gras with a Quick twist in Victory Park.

MystiQal will be a night parade with beads and baubles featuring pre- and post-parties along the parade route, live music and loads of fun activities with food and drink that celebrate everything that is Mardi Gras.

All activities will kick off at 5pm with the opening of the street festival, located on High Market between Victory and Houston Streets, in the heart of Victory Park. The Mardi Gras Run will begin at Houston Street and Continental. The Grand Parade will begin at 7:30pm, so pick your spot behind the barricades, anywhere along Victory and Houston Streets, and get ready to catch beads and baubles. Live entertainment on the stage and street festival activities will continue until 11pm.

We are not planning any children's activities as MystiQal will be an authentic Mardi Gras experience in Dallas on Saturday, February 2, 2008. Now is the time to book your babysitter and join us at MystiQal.
