Past Lineups

SECOND LINE

Jimmy often said he was a “child of the Mardi Gras”which makes sense as Mobile is home to the oldest carnival celebration in the United States. So there is no better way to kick off the party than with a brass band and a parade down the historic streets of Downtown Mobile!
