Don your beads, masks and crank some Zydeco in preparation for the Mountain Mardi Gras on February 13. Live music starts at noon in the Village with street performers, jesters, face painters, and a “Taste of New Orleans” brought to you by Village restaurants. The party continues into the evening with three live bands in West Portal Station from 7-11pm. And of course, there will be gourmet sampling of jambalaya, crawfish, Hurricanes and other Cajun delights so your taste buds can party too.
