How to Celebrate Mardi Gras in the Grand Strand

Let the good times roll while you celebrate Mardi Gras in the Grand Strand this year. Here are some activities you and your family are sure to enjoy.

Have a Family Night at Painting with a Twist

On Tuesday, February 16th, Painting with a Twist is hosting a special Mardi Gras Family Night. Bring your kids (must be age 6 or up), some snacks and learn how to paint a Mardi Gras themed scenery – it’s a fun and creative activity the whole family will love.

Catch a Show at GTS Theatre

Entertainment is key when it comes to Mardi Gras and GTS Theatre has got you covered. They are hosting a variety of entertaining shows in the coming weeks including a Motown Tribute Show, an Elvis Live Tribute Show and a Magic Show with Michael Bairefoot. Be sure to get your tickets in advance.

Grab Dinner at Landry’s Seafood House

It wouldn’t be a Mardi Gras celebration without an indulgence of Cajun/Creole food. Stop by Landry’s Seafood House for a traditional southern Louisiana meal. Try their New Orleans Crawfish Bread, Landry’s Gumbo or one of their many varieties of fresh seafood dishes.

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth with Fresh Beignets

Blueberry’s Grill has some of the best beignets in the Grand Strand area. You can’t celebrate Mardi Gras without indulging in this classic New Orleans staple. With locations in both Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, it’s easy to get your fill.
