Aqua Essence

Dress yourself and your dog in tropical parrothead costumes and celebrate Mardi Gras Apalach style! You may walk, ride in golf carts, pull wagons, push strollers, or come up with any other unique form of transportation. Floats are allowed and this may be the only place you'll see oyster boats in a parade. The day's events, for the benefit of our local animal shelter and for the Apalachicola Dog Park, begin at 1:00 pm at the Bowery and winds through town, ending at the dog-friendly where the party will continue with live music, dancing, Cajun food, games, And contests. Parade registration is $5.00 per person. Dogs, of course, are free. Golf carts, floats, and boats are $20. Dogs are still free. 
Admission to the fais do-do at Bowery Station is free for everyone. All donations are tax-deductible and are for the benefit of the shelter and dog park.
