Tribute Store

The Mardi Gras Tribute Store is a much see/do at this celebration. Last years theme was Party like a Pirateโ€ฆwith costumes, sketches, models, and more behind the scenes Mardi Gras fun along with a unique shop to purchase masks, beads, tasty themed treats, and more, plus photo opts for amazing event pics!

Last year we came across the Shipwrecked Pirate souvenir and I really wish I would have picked up oneโ€ฆ.
