Saint Boogie will start at the corner of Washington and Euclid, and boogie down Euclid, stopping to play with each high school band along the way. After the groups play together, Saint Boogie will parade (on the sidewalks) around the CWE, ending at West Pine and Euclid. They will encourage people to join in from the start at Washington all the way to 1764 Public House, stopping to enjoy all the music along the way. They will also be judging each band for an unofficial “battle of the bands” between the 3 groups.
Many neighborhood restaurants will be offering Fat Tuesday specials too. Be sure to get out and enjoy the celebration.
