Pensacola Mardi Gras and Seville Quarter are teaming up with Mardi Gras Krewes for a French Quarter Fat Tuesday Celebration on February 17, 2026, in Downtown Pensacola.

The Priscus Celebration, a longtime Pensacola Mardi Gras tradition, begins at 11:00 am with a Jazz Royalty Brunch featuring a Mardi Gras menu, Half Shell Vodka Bloody Mary Specials, and low country boil.  Krewes will take over every room inside historic Seville Quarter, transforming the historic complex into the French Quarter for the day.

Krewe Royalty and elected officials will be on hand as Seville Quarter is overtaken and becomes the French Quarter.  The coronation of a the new Priscus Royalty will take place around 7:00 pm, and the end of the 2026 Mardi Gras season will be commemorated at midnight.
