PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla., January 24, 2020 – Laissez les bons temps rouler in Panama City Beach for the annual Panama City Beach Mardi Gras and Music Festival, taking place February 21-22, 2020 at Pier Park. Situated just steps away from the sugar-white sand beaches and emerald-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this authentic two-day Mardi Gras celebration is a treat that the entire family can enjoy.

“Held the weekend before Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras in Panama City Beach is always one of the most festive events of the year and exemplifies what it means to be the Real.Fun.Beach,” shares President and CEO of Visit Panama City Beach Dan Rowe. “We look forward to welcoming locals and visitors, both new and seasoned, to create lasting memories at the 2020 Mardi Gras and Music Festival.”
