Mindenites braved the wind and cold to attend the 2025 Minden Fasching Mardi Gras Parade on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 4 p.m. The parade was originally scheduled to take place Saturday, Feb. 15, however, a forecast of stormy weather prompted parade organizers to change the date. The parade, which followed the annual Martin Luther King Day Parade, featured floats of all sizes, fire engines, pageant winners, souped-up cars, giant trucks, and throws and candy of ALL kinds! The parade was sponsored by Minden Main Street.

According to Minden Main Street Commissioner Shawn Hatchett, parade winners will be announced at the March meeting of Minden City Council.
