If you thought Mardi Gras in northwest Louisiana was something that just happened around Fat Tuesday with a few parades, you're sadly mistaken! In fact, our area kewes are already gearing up for another fun filled year!

Between coronations, bals, parades, philanthronpic events and other activities, Mardi Gras is truly 24/7/365 in our neck of the woods. Check out the first draft of this year's coming Mardi Gras festivities and you'll see what I mean!

Enjoy and as always, let the good times roll!
