DATE...TBA (traditionally the Sunday prior to the Wrecks Parade) Hosted by the Via De Luna Shopping Center Merchants ...The Break, The Islander, Dog House Deli and Paddy O'Leary's along with Paradise Bar and Grill. It's a mingle and moving party. Each location will offer drink specials, free red beans and rice, some will have beads, king cake and each will have the warm, welcome and Mardi Gras spirit to share with partiers.

The event was hosted for a number of years and then went dormant. The bar owners are ready to rekindle the fun. Come in costume, bring beads to trade. Dance a little, drink a little. Bars are vying for the top votes for the best free Red Beans and Rice on the Beach.

Thanks Dave, Matt, Nathan, Seamas, Gary, Renee for putting on the party!
