Festive Apparel

This year’s clothing line centers on the “Royal Gator” family and the mysterious Baron, offering something for every style of party-goer.

• King Gator & UOAP Exclusives: For the Annual Passholders, a dark blue adult t-shirt ($35) features a neon logo with King Gator lounging inside the “O.” If you prefer a more earthy tone, the Gator “King” T-Shirt ($35) comes in sage green with a crowned gator head and purple stars.

• The Royal Pair: Match with the Gator “Queen” T-Shirt ($35), a dark purple tee featuring Queen Gator and a yellow Mardi Gras logo on the back collar.

• The Baron Collection: Channel your inner voodoo rockstar with the gray Baron T-Shirt ($35) or the Baron Flannel ($65). Both feature the skull-faced Baron in his signature snake-coiled top hat with purple guitars.

• Layers for the Chilly Nights: Stay warm during the parade with the King Gator Hoodie ($65), which boldly declares, “Party don’t stop till the gator drops!” or the Universal Mardi Gras Long-Sleeve ($50), decorated with bead and coin graphics.

Accessories & Collectibles

No Mardi Gras outfit is complete without the right flair. This year focuses on utility and “sweet” souvenirs.

• Headwear & Bags: Choose between the classic gray Mardi Gras Logo Hat ($30) or the purple-stitched King Gator Hat ($30). For hands-free snacking, the King Gator Belt Bag ($45) comes in vibrant green with a 3D gold crown applique.

Pins, Magnets, and More: Collector favorites include the 3D Mask Pin ($16) featuring the park’s iconic entrance arch, and the Beads Holder ($18), designed to display your hard-earned parade catches.

• Plush Souvenirs: The breakout stars of the year are the Beignet Plushes. You can grab a large, smiling Beignet ($18) or a Box of Beignets Keychain Set ($25) that includes three different mini-pastries with various expressions.

Housewares & Sweet Treats

Bring a taste of the Bayou back to your kitchen with the 2026 home collection.
