The Pensacola Mardi Gras season opens with a Second Line procession led by the New Orleans Ramblers brass band. Costumed krewes escort the floats through the route, and clergy and community leaders bless the floats and krewes at the end. Free King Cake is handed out while supplies last. The organiser's page does not list an admission price.
