Head over to Vermilionville tomorrow to experience a traditional Cajun Mardi Gras run held by the Basile Mardi Gras Association!
The run will take place from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, featuring the Basile Mardi Gras Runners as they visit the six historical homes in the village, begging for ingredients to make a communal gumbo and performing other traditions. After the performance, children will be able to participate in a chicken chase, and the one who catches the chicken will win a special prize!
From 1 PM to 4 PM, attendees will get to enjoy themselves with gumbo and live music by The Pine Leaf Boys, as well as view the “A Tale of Two Mardi Gras” exhibit, demonstrating the vastly different but equally meaningful ways Mardi Gras is celebrated across the city, state, and country.
Admission is $5, and children under 3 get in free. If you bring a bag of beads to the event, you’ll get $1 off admission price!
