The Mardi Paws Kings & Queens campaign celebrates the joy, personality, and heart of our four-legged community while supporting the creative spirit of Havre de Grace.This lighthearted fundraising initiative invites dog lovers to nominate and vote for canine royalty, with every dollar raised directly benefiting the Havre de Grace Arts Collective. Through creativity, community participation, and a little Mardi Gras flair, Mardi Paws brings people together to support local arts, culture, and shared experiences that make our town special.By combining fun, fundraising, and furry friends, Mardi Paws reminds us that art, community, and celebration belong to everyone — paws include!!
