"Local businesses, community groups, and individuals are invited to join the parade fun. To make participation even easier, Yountville businesses can apply for a $1,000 participation grant, generously sponsored by the Hotels & Inns of Yountville. These grants help offset costs like float supplies, vehicle rentals, or extra staffing and will be awarded to the first 10 approved float applications. Details and applications are available at www.yountvillemardigras.com."
"And when we say everyone is invited, we mean it! Walkers, bikers, horse groups, car clubs, marching bands, and traditional floats are all welcome. The more creative, the better! Cash prizes will be awarded to top entries in each category, as chosen by our guest judges. The deadline to apply for the parade is Friday, January 23, 2026. After the parade, which starts at 1:00 PM from California Drive and travel north up Washington Street, the celebration keeps rolling with a block party in North Yountville until 4:00 PM."
""We're thrilled to bring Mardi Gras back to Yountville for a second year," said Samantha Holland. "It's a celebration full of color, music, and festive fun-with a signature Yountville twist!" The parade and block party are all about bringing the community together during what's typically a quieter season in town. It's the perfect time to enjoy Yountville's mustard blooms, rolling green hills, crisp winter air, and a little extra room to dance in the streets."
