We would like to especially acknowledge the Riverland community for their enthusiastic support of the February 2021 Loxton 64th Mardi Gras. We were pleased to be able to stage such a successful and popular event and, in the process, show the community that even under Covid restrictions it could still happen.

​

We look forward to continued community support during the 65th event in April 2022.  Our theme will be ‘Celebration’ so everyone can again let their creativity shine with a parade float.

We look forward to strong community participation as we continue this long standing family festival into the future.

Thank you one and all.
