The name was later changed to the Prichard Mardi Gras Association, and its first coronation was held in 1979.

The PMGA's royal court is made up of students from public and private schools in Mobile County. This year's Queen is Hannah Milsap.

This year, the Prichard Mardi Gras Association paraded on Saturday, February 22, at 10 a.m. The parade included 10 floats.
