On Tuesday, February 25, the Central West End is bringing the sounds of New Orleans to the neighborhood for its second annual Fat Tuesday Celebration!
At 5:30 p.m., Saint Boogie Brass Band and the Normandy High School Marching Band will be leading a Second Line Parade throughout the CWE, starting at the corner of Euclid and Washington. Second Line is a New Orleans tradition, in which participants follow the main parade — and the band — just to enjoy the music. Attendees are invited to join in the fun, at any point during the parade.
“St. Louis is known for its strong Mardi Gras traditions and we are excited to be partnering with two local bands to bring festivities to the neighborhood on Fat Tuesday,” says Kate Haher, executive director of the CWE Business Community Improvement District. “Everyone is invited to boogie through the neighborhood during the parade.”
Prizes will be awarded to the “Best Dressed” participants during the event. Attendees can continue the Fat Tuesday festivities at various venues throughout the Central West End, including Evangeline’s Bistro & Music House, Sub Zero Vodka Bar, and Up-Down STL.
