Please consider contributing to the Greater Southwest Louisiana Mardi Gras Association and its efforts in making Mardi Gras 2026 the best yet!

Mardi Gras in Lafayette is widely recognized as a fun, safe, and family-friendly celebration which is made possible by your financial support.

Donations from community individuals and Lafayette businesses help the volunteer members of the Greater Southwest Louisiana Mardi Gras Association produce events throughout the Mardi Gras season, including parades and the City Ball. Contributions like yours also help fund parade and festival security, including a significant police and first responder presence and other security infrastructure – all of which helps facilitate a safe and fun Mardi Gras for our community.

The Greater Southwest Louisiana Mardi Gras Association and its member Krewes proudly continue the tradition of Lafayette being THE destination for Mardi Gras revelers to enjoy a safe, family-friendly environment to celebrate this unique and festive holiday. Your support is vital to Mardi Gras continuing to thrive in Lafayette. We humbly thank those of you who have recognized the importance of these events by donating in years past. If you have never donated, or have not recently donated, we kindly ask that you consider doing so at any level. Your generous contribution ensures that Lafayette maintains its tradition of providing the best Mardi Gras in Louisiana.
