Downtown Chandler will host a Mardi Gras Festival this February.
Live entertainment, carnival games and eating competitions full of Creole flavor are all part of the festival, with an aim at building community. Celebrating culture, providing family-friendly activities and offering an opportunity for people to refresh are some of the goals of the event.
With attractions, activities, family fun zones, themed areas, stage performances and plenty of food, the festival offers something for people of all ages.
The Mardi Gras Festival in 2026 represents its inaugural year, combining the traditions of southeastern Louisiana, with food vendors serving dishes from that region, with the unique community culture of Chandler.
There will be a number of musical acts from a variety of genres performing, including modern swing revival bands, blues, jazz and zydeco.
The event is presented by the Angry Crab Shack, a Cajun seafood restaurant chain located all over the United States, and organized by Orange Patch Socials, which is a special event agency that supports turnkey event concepts for families and communities around Arizona.
Vendors at festivals like this may choose to use business card printing to stay in touch with potential clients or business partners.
The Mardi Gras Festival is happening on February 7 from noon to 9 pm at the Chandler Downtown Stage at 178 E Commonwealth Ave in Chandler.
