Mardi Gras, 2007
You can be a part of Nevada City's “Fabulous Fifties” Mardi Gras Parade on Sunday, Feb. 18.
The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce is now accepting entries for the 1950s-themed midwinter celebration. Entry fee is $25, plus the crowd expects entrants to hand out beads.
Marching units, floats, equestrians, vehicles, bands, other groups and individuals may enter the parade, a rain or shine event that begins at 2 p.m. at the top of Broad Street.
The parade caps a two-day (Feb. 17-18) Mardi Gras celebration in historic downtown Nevada City. The Mardi Gras Cajun Dinner and Masquerade Ball will be held at Miners Foundry on Saturday night.
