Loop Marda Gras Festival - Aug8 DESCRIPTION:
“Come join the Masquerade!”
Marda Loop Marda Gras Festival
Marda Gras Street Festival 2010 will feature the sights and sounds of New
Orleans Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, street performances, Zydeco music and
avariety of cultural performers. The Festival will also play host to over
150 street vendors, entertainment stages, and feature areas including the
Kids’ Quarter, a new Fashion Fairway and Arts and Culture area.
Building on the success of the launch of the 2009 ECO Centre, this year's
ECO "Alley" will feature tips on how to live sustainably, along
with an information booth on greening initiatives in Marda Loop. Tying
into our City’s efforts to build a better future, representatives from
various ‘green’ businesses will also be available to answer questions.
CHOSEN CHARITY: The Marda Gras Street Festival supports the Children's
Wish Foundation.
We will be right in the midst of the fun and activity, doing
water, mask & bead table sales- you may also help with some set up or
take down, I'm not sure.
