Our second annual response to Galveston's Mardi Gras and it's rising ticket prices, and high fences! This event is free and open to all - however homemade costumes and gifts (to be given away in lieu of beads) are encouraged. Held in partnership with the Galveston Arts Center and Hotel Artist Lofts.
This year's music was by Mariana Kunst Fashion (of BOAN) and Tex Kerschen and Erika Thrasher (of Studded Left and Indian Jewelry).
