The 2025 Colorado Party committee is ready to celebrate Mardi Gras in Arizona by staging PebbleCreek’s biggest state party on Feb. 27, 2025. “Pardi” Gras ’25 will be filled with fun, great food, a fantastic band, and many festive revelers wearing costumes, masks, hats, and beads to add to the merriment.

The party annually brings together former residents of Colorado and anyone who simply admires the beauty of the Centennial State.

The Party schedule begins at 4 p.m. and includes a buffet dinner, prize tickets for sale, and dancing to the amazing tunes of the “Rhythm Edition” live band. “Pardi” Gras et finis about 9 p.m.!
