So great to be a part of this year’s Durham Mardi Gras! There is a stellar line up spreading over several venues, along with a parade, of course! Dress up or come as you are, but be sure to bring your dancing shoes. This is gonna be fun!
From the fb event page:
“Well helloooo Durham! Mardi Gras is back on Fat Tuesday, March 5. The area’s oldest Mardi Gras is still the biggest, still the best (sez us!) and still totally free and open to everyone! We’ve got 5 stages of great music, dancing, festivities, food and entertainment. In the great local tradition we’ll be mixing our own kind of NC musical gumbo. It’s got a healthy portion of New Orleans, a dash of Cajun spice, and a big ole ladle of Durm.
