Perfect weather encouraged large crowds at the 2023 Panama City Beach Mardi Gras Celebration as tens of thousands of attendees crowded Pier Park in Panama City Beach on Saturday, February 4, as seen in Part 1 of these photos by Paul Goulding Photography.
Saturday saw one of the largest crowds yet and the huge parade seemed to go on interminably, satisfying even the most hardcore reveler, with almost a million beads and other throws tossed to the crowd chanting ‘Throw me something Mister’ in one of the largest Mardi Gras parades east of Mobile.
