BEAUMONT, Texas — Mardi Gras Southeast Texas is ready to let the good times roll with their 2024 musical lineup.
Next year's festival kicks off Friday, Feb. 8 in downtown Beaumont and winds down Sunday, Feb. 11.
The 2023 musical lineup featured several different genres including cumbia, zydeco, rap and southern rock.
The Saturday night lineup in 2023 was heavy on Houston rappers, including Lil' Keke, Baby Bash, Slim Thug and Paul Wall.
During a meeting at 5 Under Golf Center Wednesday, organizers announced Houston rapper Lil' Flip as the opening act for Saturday's lineup.
Since the 1990s, the City of Port Arthur hosted the carnival but in 2019, Mardi Gras Southeast Texas, citing declining revenue and attendance, began looking for a new home.
The event moved to Beaumont in 2020 and 2022 with the 2021 event being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This coming carnival in February 2024 will be the group's 32nd event.
Mardi Gras will also feature parades, carnival rides, the kids zone and the Capes & Crowns 5K and 1K races.
