This Saturday night the Florida Georgia Line show at the Cajundome will finally be here. Also happening Saturday night? The Krewe of Carnivale en Rio parade, one of Lafayette's biggest Mardi Gras parades.
You ever wonder why you never see people eating king cake at festivals, or especially Mardi Gras parades? Cause it's so messy! Well, thanks to one Slidell based baker, messy fingers and king cake don't have to go hand in hand any longer.
According to louisianatravel.com, the Mardi Gras Museum of Imperial Calcasieu has "more Mardi Gras costumes that can be found in one place than anywhere in the world!"
There are all kinds of king cakes these days. You've got the traditional, you've got king cakes with different types of filling, and even boudin king cakes. However, The Audubon Zoo in New Orleans is offering up a type of king cake I've never heard of until today. They are offering up a "Cricket King Cake". Nope, not for the animals at the zoo, for the patrons.
Beads for Less presents the Krewe De Bayou’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Mardi Gras Ball on Friday, February 17, 2017 at the Double Tree by Hilton on Pinhook Rd in Lafayette. Doors will open at 6:30pm.
