The Mardi Gras is a free entry family fun day, with money raised going towards community projects and most years the event raises thousands of dollars through the efforts of many volunteers. This year’s theme is to be announced.
On Sunday morning, the Mardi Gras Appreciation Service will be held at the Rotunda in East Terrace honouring a South Australian military nurse, local volunteers and a presentation made to the 2025 Parade Flagbearers.
