Saturday, February 18th @ 1:00 is Olive Branch's first annual Mardi Gras parade hosted by the Olive Twig Humanitarian Group! The parade route will be similar to Olive Branch's christmas parade throughout Old Towne and Downtown Olive Branch. There will also be live music. You can find out more about the parade at the event page on the Desoto County website.

After much debate and several meetings, Maples has decided to host a float in the Olive Branch Mardi Gras parade! If you would like to help decorate or participate in the float, please contact Christi Rice at 319-213-7546 or Ben Larsen at 901-417-1465.
