Escambia Westgate’s Very Special Mardi Gras Parade (With Photo Gallery)
February 21, 2026
Let the good times roll!
The 33rd annual Mardi Gras parade was held Friday morning at Escambia Westgate School — a very special parade for the school’s special needs students.
With plenty of beads, trinkets, smiles, and Mardi Gras krewes, the parade rolled through the school parking lot for students with sensory issues that might not otherwise be able to attend a regular Mardi Gras parade.

I loved working with these kids as a bus aide. They can be a real joy (and yes, sometimes a pain) but never got tired of it. We are blessed to have West Gate.
This made us cry happy! God bless the angels and everyone who made there day great!
