Expect live music, costume contests, activities, food trucks, and loads of fun at Mardi Gras in the Spa.
A brand-new community celebration is coming to Hot Springs with the launch of Mardi Gras in the Spa, an all-ages festival designed to bring locals and visitors together for a day of music, costumes, food, and fun — all while supporting a meaningful local cause.
Scheduled to take place Sunday, February 15, 2026, in the Bridge Street Entertainment District, Mardi Gras in the Spa will feature live music throughout the day, costume contests for kids, adults, and pets, street vendors, food trucks, interactive activities, and plenty of traditional Mardi Gras flair. The event is being created as an annual celebration with a strong focus on community engagement and local participation.
In addition to entertainment, Mardi Gras in the Spa has a charitable mission at its core. Proceeds and community support generated through the event will directly benefit Jackson House, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting individuals and families in need. Event organizers emphasize that community involvement and sponsorships will play a critical role in making a lasting impact.
Organizers are currently welcoming sponsors, vendors, performers, and community partners interested in being part of this inaugural celebration. Additional event details, participation and sponsorship opportunities, and updates will be released in the coming weeks.
