Clarke County's Mardi Gras Krewe presents the 2024 Mardi Gras Parade and events, Saturday, February 3, 2024, in Stonewall and at the Stonewall Ball Field next to the Stonewall Town Hall. Line up for the parade is 10 a.m., and the parade starts at 11 a.m.
All participants in the parade should meet in the parking lot of Jones Community College to check in and get parade rules and instructions. The parade will travel north on Hwy 513 and turn around at the Rivers of Life Church. The Stonewall Police
Department and Clarke County Sheriff’s Department will be on site to ensure compliance.
ATVs/4-wheelers, golf carts, antique vehicles, floats, and individual businesses who are riding in the parade must line up in the parking lot of Jones Community College. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact Lynnita Bartee, Parade Coordinator, at 228-424-5975.
The Grand Marshal for this year is Ike McCormick. The King is Toney Fleming. The Queen is Pam Myrick. Please come out and support these individuals as well as the many food and company vendors.
The sponsors for this year's parade are as follows:
The Town of Stonewall, Riverside Grill, Stonewall Piggly Wiggly, Bittersweet Crossroads, Long's Fish Camp, The French Quarter, Chancelor Construction, Chancelor Electrical, Joey Chancelor Trucking, Simply Irresistable, Outreach Health Services, Clarke County Hot Topics, Terral Insurance, Clarke County Tribune, Happy Campers Farm, Accentcare, Bartee Auto Repair, Kidz K'nect (Texas), and First State Bank.
Sponsors contributed funds or throws for the Grand Marshal, King, and Queen. The remaining funds will be matched and donated to a local non-profit organization. This year, we are fulfilling a financial need for an organization that cares for pets, Creature Comforts of Clarke County. We chose this organization because donations are what keep them up and running. If you would like to donate to Creature Comforts, you may do so at the Mardi Gras booth after the parade. You may donate cash or checks (payable to Creature Comforts).
