WASHINGTON MARDI GRAS

Our Chamber had a strong presence during the 2024 Washington D.C. Mardi Gras from  January 25-28. Celebrating 75 years, Washington Mardi Gras began as a demonstration of the spirit of Mardi Gras in the Nation’s capitol, and has grown into a celebration of Louisiana, its politics and its people.

The business highlight of the four-day event is the annual Economic Development Luncheon. As co-host with the Monroe Chamber of Commerce, St. Tammany was  spotlighted before statewide elected and business leaders.

Our Task Force led by Kelly Rabalais of St. Tammany Health System planned a St. Tammany reception themed “It’s a Shore Thing.” Special thanks to the following sponsors:

• St. Tammany Parish Government
• Pat Gallagher’s Rest Awhile
• Money Hill Golf & Country Club
• Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Company
• Acquistapace’s
• Kyle Associates

Part of the goals we set as a chamber in 2023 was to establish a larger presence for St. Tammany Parish similar to what other parishes have done over the years. As the fourth-largest parish with significant business representation, 2024 was our turn to shine!
