What Paw-di Gras Means to Us 💜🐾

Paw-di Gras is so much more than just a parade and event to us. It’s a celebration of community, love for our city, and our commitment to helping animals in need. 🐶💜

As Louisiana natives, Mardi Gras is in our hearts, and so are our pets. When we moved to Pensacola, we dreamt of bringing both loves together in a way that could make a real difference. Paw-di Gras was born from that dream, blending the joy of Mardi Gras with a passion for rescue animals and giving back.

Our mission is to build a space where pet lovers, local businesses, and our community come together to celebrate, support, and make a lasting impact for local rescues. Every sponsor, every vendor, every attendee helps us reach that goal, creating a ripple effect that supports our shelters and the animals that depend on them.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Paw-di Gras is about love—for our pets, for our neighbors, and for this incredible community that shows up year after year. Together, we’re making a difference, one paw at a time. 💜🐾

We can't wait to see you all on February 16, 2025
