Mardi Gras Galveston!

Galveston, TX

From 1986 to 1997, EGA served as director of design for Galveston Island's legendary pre-lenten carnival celebrations. At the request of George Mitchell and Dancie Ware, each year EGA designed and coordinated street decorations, exhibits and festival activities including showering clouds of confetti on Strand revelers with the now famous "EGA Confetti Canon", as well as transforming the Tremont House Hotel into a fantasy representation of the annual festival theme (...from the Parthenon to a pagoda!!!). A centerpiece of the two week celebration is the EGA designed Saengerfest Park.
