Here we are enjoying a Mardri Gras like event in Pensacola, Florida in July 2000 while I was attending a navy school. Their actual Mardi Gras event is held in February, so I am not exactly sure what was going on in July. I do remember is was hot as heck though! As you can see the heat did not affect our motivation to get the "beads". A fun time was had by all, especially since our hotel was practically right on the beach.

Pensacola's Mardi Gras is a four-day party extravaganza. On Sunday a colourful parade weaves its way merrily through town and ends up at the beach. Amidst the bands, floats, competitions and cook-offs, the main aim of Pensacola's event is to catch as many beads and moonpies as possible as they are gleefully thrown off the floats.
