mardi gras

East Texas weekend events.

I like a LOT of things "made in Texas" but King Cake is not one of them.

Fat Tuesday is the last big celebration before Ash Wednesday, and today is the day! If you're going to wear purple, green, and gold beads, it's good to know what they mean.

Mardi Gras has been called the biggest party on the planet and seeing how it originated in Europe and is still celebrated there as well as in North and South America today, it just might be the biggest party ever!

With their release today, The City of Shreveport has shut down Mardi Gras parades for 2021

Even though the state is experiencing record-high infection numbers nearly every day now - officials in the south east Texas town are full steam ahead with their Mardi Gras plans.

Never fear! So far, the upcoming 2021 Mardi Gras parades in Shreveport-Bossier have not been canceled!

The bars will be full of fun people wearing purple, green, and gold tonight, but if you'd rather take the Mardi Gras vibe to the house instead, we've got three easy drink recipes that will produce the same buzz and save some money too.

This year's grand door prize is (4) tickets to the TXU Energy Suite at the American Airlines Center to see the Dallas Stars play the San Jose Sharks.

Everyone's got a favorite right?

It's the most anticipated seafood boil of the year!

Currently, the team is working on a launch for the beads in time for next years Mardi Gras season.
