We are less than a week a way from everyone’s favorite four day weekend. Carnival season has arrived and the streets are slowly turning green, gold, and purple. For long time South Louisiana residents, surviving the Mardi Gras marathon has become an art form
First off, all of us here at the Dawg just want to tell each and every one of you to be safe this Mardi Gras Season.
It's Mardi Gras time in Acadiana! Barricades will go up on Thursday for this weekend's parades in Lafayette.
I know you've got some memories from the Fat Tuesday celebration. Good or bad, they've got to be some you'll cherish forever!
People of all ages are challenged to test their creativity and Mardi Gras spirit during the annual King’s Court Costume Contest set for 9 a.m at Parc San Souci on Mardi Gras Day in Lafayette.
Mardi Gras season officially starts in Acadiana today!
Check out some of the photo galleries from the local balls and parades-Throw Me Somethin' Mister!!
Would you believe that some carnivals go out of there way to make it harder for you win their fabulous prizes? Really, it's true, they do! I don't know of any carnivals in particular but if you happen to find yourself near a carnival midway sometime in the near future and some Jack Wagon with a bullhorn insults your family tree because you won't spend a buck or two trying to win a Justin Bieber shaving mirror well take heart. I have some tips that just might tip the scale of winning in your general direction.
For a lot of us Mardi Gras is as natural as breathing, we know what to do, when to do it and what to wear while we are at it. Still there are always new friends that move into Acadiana everyday and we will have a lot of visitors from other states and other lands. If you are a visitor to our part of the world, welcome to God's Country. This is our home, Mardi Gras is our celebration and we LOVE sharing it with anyone who wants to pass a good time.
