Jester Jog 2026 Color Celebration
The Jester Jog Color Celebration is a non‑timed color run in West Monroe that follows the West Monroe Mardi Gras parade route and downtown streets on a double loop course. Powder Mardi Gras colors are thrown at stations along the route, and finisher specialty beads are provided to all finishers. Each loop measures one mile, so participants may complete one, two, or three loops to cover the full event distance.
The event includes costume prizes awarded for Best Child Costume, Best Female Costume, and Best Male Costume. The listed entry fee is $30 and includes a silicone Mardi Gras cup and a Flying Heart drink token.
Participants assemble at the corner of Wood and Commerce Streets and the primary location is Alley Park (intersection Natchitoches/Trenton/Commerce), 220 Trenton Street, West Monroe, LA 71291. Packet pickup is available Friday at Alley Park from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, with an additional packet pickup on Saturday morning at the corner of Wood and Commerce Streets. Mardi Gras activities continue in downtown West Monroe after the run and include a Paws Pet Parade. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
