Memberships are the parade's biggest source of funding. Memberships help pay for city permits, police, barricades, and much more. While most of our events are open to the wider community, the best way to get involved is to become a member .Annual fees get you discounted or free entry to our events throughout the year. Plus, you ensure that AMG can continue bringing its own high-energy brand of fun to the streets of Asheville all year long!

Your gift keeps Asheville’s Mardi Gras spirit alive. You help local artists, musicians, and neighbors come together in a creative, joy-filled parade that’s open to all. 🎭As a community-based nonprofit, we rely on your support to cover essentials like the royal float, street permitting, and safety—so the celebration stays vibrant, accessible, and welcoming year after year. 💜💚💛
