A fan-favorite tradition returns this year as the Tribute Store opens its doors once again, this time with an all-new bayou-inspired theme. Step into the heart of the swamp, where legends come to life in a curiosity shop, swamp shack, and marsh that are as whimsical as they are wonderfully weird. The Tribute Store isn’t just a feast for the eyes—it’s also the ultimate place to snag exclusive Mardi Gras goodies that will make your heart (and your luggage) a little heavier.
This year’s merch lineup is dripping in festive flair. From vibrant apparel like t-shirts, hoodies, flannels, and hats to must-have accessories like backpacks, headwear, and vinyl toys, there’s something for everyone to strut their Mardi Gras style. Fans of collectibles will want to snatch up the customizable commemorative beaded necklace, the light-up Gator Junior popcorn bucket, and the limited-edition bubble pin before they’re gone. Feeling sweet? You’ll even find festive chocolate coins that are perfect for your Mardi Gras treasure stash.
But the pièce de résistance might just be the adorable Gator Junior Shoulder Pal Plush, the perfect companion for catching beads at the parade. He’s small, stylish, and ready to “snap” up all the attention!
