Gulf Shores approves deal to keep Fat Tuesday celebrations going

The City of Gulf Shores has green-lit a memorandum agreement to continue hosting Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday festivities through 2027 and beyond, following Monday's city council meeting, according to WKRG News 5.

The approval formalizes an accord between Gulf Shores and the Krewe & Commerce Parade Alliance (KCPA), the organization that coordinates the annual celebration. The move ensures the popular festival will remain part of the city's annual event calendar for years to come.

Fat Tuesday draws crowds to the Alabama Gulf Coast community each year as part of the broader Mardi Gras season celebrations that take place across the Gulf region.
