The Funky Uptown Umbrella Brigade continues its tradition of breaking world records for the most decorated umbrellas in a single parade since 2011. Participants dance along the route, pausing to perform the “Hokey Pokey” under the Mardi Gras Arch next to The Tremont Hotel. Each year, fans from across Texas travel to Mardi Gras! Galveston to join the brigade. This lively, bedazzled parade gains momentum annually, with an even bigger turnout predicted for 2025!
