Get ready to pass a good time this Saturday at Swedes Park Pavilion for the annual Courir de Mardi Gras! This vibrant community celebration brings the “real Mardi Gras” to life with a traditional Chicken Run and a high-energy Gumbo Cook-off featuring public tastings for all. The air will be filled with the rhythmic sounds of Zydeco as the world-renowned Horace Trahan and the Ossun Express take the stage. Families can enjoy the Kid Zone, participate in the Silent Gumbo & Mascot Calcutta, and soak in the authentic spirit of the Bolivar Peninsula. Whether you’re there for the dancing, the food, or the unique traditions, it’s going to be a day of non-stop fun and flavor!
