EMILY GLASSCOCK CITY OF ENTERPRISE Plans are rolling and nominations are now being accepted for the Queen and King of the Second Annual Mardi Gras on Main event in downtown Enterprise on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, from 4 until 9 p.m.
“We are asking the community to nominate who they would like to see crowned as the 2025 Mardi Gras King and Queen,” Enterprise Main Street Executive Director Mariah Montgomery said. “We’re looking for individuals who embody the spirit of our community—those who are passionate, dedicated, and eager to make a positive impact.”
Nominations opened Monday. The Main Street Organization Committee will evaluate the candidates and present a slate in September. Voting will begin in October and will end in January. “Just like last year, the Mardi Gras on Main event will serve as a fundraiser for downtown Enterprise beautification efforts. We were able to raise more than $19,000 our first year and put those donations into lighting upgrades at The Nook as well as custom umbrellas, a survey on bump outs and landscaping for the intersection of Main and College Streets, and additional waste receptacles for the district,” Montgomery said.
