PYGMALION FEST: THE PRINCESS & THE PYG FT. MARSHMELLO

The Krewe of Pygmalion is ushering in a new era following their 25th year, as they kick off the first weekend of Mardi Gras in style at the Convention Center! On February 7th, 2026, the Krewe will ride a new route, and turn the page to the next evolution of their signature afterparty: Pygmalion Fest.

After years of celebrations at The Sugar Mill, the Krewe is doubling down with a venue twice the size and introducing a formal new format, solidifying Pygmalion as the crown jewel of Mardi Gras’ first weekend. This year’s theme, “The Princess and the Pyg,” reimagines the magic of Mardi Gras through a modern fairytale lens, where timeless tradition meets royal revelry and every guest steps into a story of grandeur, glamour, and celebration.

Leading the charge is global superstar DJ and producer Marshmello, whose chart-topping hits and electrifying performances have made him one of the most in-demand acts in the world. Joining him will be a special mystery guest, to be revealed at a later date, and returning favorites, The Party Crashers and Rachii!

Hail Pygmalion — the next era begins.
