LET'S PARDI!
Pardi Gras is a collaborative effort between the Aransas Pass Chamber of Commerce and Destination Aransas Pass. The two non-profit organizations created Pardi Gras to reignite the Aransas Pass downtown and increase foot traffic during winter months. Proceeds of the event are utilized toward beautification projects for Downtown Aransas Pass.
Thank you to our event sponsors!
