Mardi Gras - Galveston Texas
February 1-2, 2008
Parade Saturday Evening
KNIGHTS OF MOMUS GRAND NIGHT PARADE
Galveston’s largest parade started at 6:30 PM at Seawall Blvd and 21st street and wound around Mechanic Street to the Strand, ending at the Railroad Museum.
The parade included floats, marching bands, dignitaries (Michael and Vickie Richmond on Landry’s volcano float) bead throwing and featured the Philadelphia Mummers! We even got beads thrown by Kinky Friedman!
Momus Sails the South Pacific lead off the parade
Floats began to flow one right after another. Over 20 floats rolled down the Strand with bead throwers doing their best to adorne everyone with beads.
Everyone throws beads from the floats
Bands were interspersed between the floats
