The good times are set to roll in Panama City today! The St. Andrews Mardi Gras kicks off with Kid's Day, noon to 10pm. Amusement rides, food and drink, a Home Depot sponsored hands-on kids woodworking workshop, interactive computer stations courtesy of local cable companies, and Coca-Cola's giant blowup playground!

The Kid's Parade starts at 4pm on Beck Ave, and a Maskers Parade, open to everyone, starts at 7pm and heads into the Festival area, where live bands Dikki Du and Zydeco Crew will play New Orleans-style music...

Of course, it may be Kid's Day, but you'll still be able to get a sudsy draft beer!

Heading down to the Mardi Gras today with a camera crew... we'll catch the parade and whatever nonsense we spot and have them on the site early next week! It's a clear, crisp, bright, beautiful day in PC, and this morning's Pet Parade was packed! Expect the main parade at 3pm to be a madhouse...

If you're in the area, hurry on over and join in the raucous, riotous fun!
