Boab Float Parade & Mardi Gras
Friday 3rd July 2026
To kick off the Boab Festival, the annual float parade runs down the Loch St and finishes at Nicholson Oval where there is a fun evening ahead at the Mardi Gras
Watch the floats head down to the oval, leaving from the Derby Memorial Swimming Pool. Cudos to all that contribute to this with many hours invested into making this a wonderful event (if you're lucky you might even get a treat or two).
At the Mardi Gras there is a great evening ahead. With carnival rides, showbags, food trucks and entertainment, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
