laissez les bon temps rouler!
Let the good times roll... Fat Tuesday is just around the corner and Buffalo is going to be celebrating New Orleans style as Artvoice presents its 18th annual Mardi Gras Parade and Festival.
Artvoice will join forces with their sponsor Southern Comfort to throw the biggest Mardi Gras party in the Northeast!
On Fat Tuesday (February 12th), Historic Allentown and surrounding areas will become Buffalo's own French Quarter. Start partying at 5pm when the parade takes an all new route down Allen St, and keep partying until we get kicked out!
All funds raised by $5 bracelet sales benefit Give for Greatness, a not-for-profit organization that raises funding and awareness for Western New York's beloved arts and cultural institutions.
It's Buffalo's biggest party night of the year... so come out and party for a great cultural cause!
