Off The Rails: Krewe of St. Catherine 4th Annual Walking Parade

Join us as we celebrate trains, trains, trains—and the powerful role the railroad has played in shaping our beloved Hub City. Inspired by Saint Catherine, patron saint of railway workers, this year’s parade honors the people, stories, and steel lines that keep us all connected.

This is a walking parade, so everyone’s invited to stroll along with us. Bring your creativity to the streets: think locomotives, conductors, tracks, tickets, timepieces, whistles, and wild rail-inspired revelry. Whether your style is historical, fantastical, or totally offbeat, there’s room on this train for you.

Come celebrate Mardi Gras with community, movement, and imagination on February 6, 2026. No floats, no barriers—just people, costumes, and the joyful rhythm of the rails. Grab your friends, grab your ideas, and step into the procession. Next stop: Downtown Hattiesburg!
