Talladega's 2025 Mardi Gras parade is now in the books, continuing to build on the success of previous years.

The sky was a tad overcast Saturday morning, but for the duration of the parade it was significantly warmer and dryer than it had been. Goody-seekers of all ages and stripes lined Battle Street and scurried after Moon Pies, candy and beads as they were tossed from the passing floats.
