About us
Loxton celebrates its 63rd Mardi Gras on Friday 28th February,
Saturday 29th February and
Sunday 1st March, 2020.
This year's theme is 'PLAY'
The Mardi Gras is a family fun day, with money raised going towards community projects.
Most years the event raises thousands of dollars through the efforts of many volunteers.

At the 2020 Loxton Mardi Gras be ready for the possible return of the Nippy's Loxton Mardi Gras Great Main-Street Downhill Underarm Orange Bowling Event.
After the success of the 2019 Inaugural event we will make a few tweaks including to the barriers and length of the course, so get some practice in.
