  It's time to parade our crazy again!!! Join Galveston Bay PHC for a full day of food, phloats, phun, & phriends! Saturday, February 14, 2026 in Galveston!

  If you plan to enter the parade with a vehicle this year, please send an e-mail to Rob Flance at rjflance@verizon.net or a text message to 281-384-9059 - other riders in your vehicle do not need to contact Rob, only the leader. Deadline is Feb. 4.

  9:30 am - Meet for pre-parade food and libations at 26th St. & Market St. - Please click register on this event if you are planning on going so we can plan accordingly.  We're asking $5 per person ($5.50 online via PayPal ~ extra fifty cents to cover fees) to cover Bloody Mary/Mimosa and parade entry costs. You may pay and register on this event page. ALSO, should you wish to pay the $5 cash, in person, you may give it to Jay Jorns at any Happy Hour or upcoming event.  A dish to share is appreciated. It's Breakfast!!

  11:30 am - Line up for walking/golf cart, ZKrewe parade begins at 1:00 pm. Bring your throws and small coolers to have along the route if desired.

  4:00 pm - we will be entertained by two of our favorites...Chris Bergeron and Rob Kent with The Band Stranded (was at the 2025 RITS pub crawl at Market Station) at Mid-Town Tavern, 5806 Stewart Rd. (just off 61st St. in Galveston). Plan to meet up over there and still be out in time for the night parade if you plan to attend - which is just a few blocks down the road!

  ......  NOTE THIS YEAR'S PARADE CHANGES ......

  Walkers HAVE BEEN APPROVED  to be allowed to walk in the parade!!! Rob requested a waiver, and Z-Krewe is allowing it. NOTE: All participants, including walkers, will be required to make two (2) rounds of the parade route, so the gate to leave will not be open until the parade ends. Walkers will gather at the end of the vehicle line for safety reasons.

  Vehicles / Floats / Golf Carts - This year each organization is limited to 20 vehicle entries. The parade has been growing year after year.  Also note, new this year is that all participants will not be allowed to opt out of the second trip around the Strand. All participants must make both trips around the Strand.
