San Marcos takes on Mardi Gras
The 12th annual Mardi Gras parade was filled with beads, bubbles and bliss as the procession made its way through the historic downtown district of San Marcos. The Mistick Krewe of Okeanos organized the event with the mission of supporting music and arts in the community and bringing neighbors together. Massive floats with mythical gods, pirate ships, castles and river creatures rolled through San Antonio and Belvin Street followed by marching bands, roller skaters and groups of walkers decked out in green, purple and gold. The sidewalks were full of citizens catching beads and mixing mimosas as the sound of trumpets and laughter filled the neighborhood. The party did not stop after the parade with after parties being hosted at both Zelicks as well as Industry for their kick off event for the new local business organization South Square Collective.
