Mardi Gras revelers can swill one last hurricane and catch one last strand of cheap beads at the Fat Tuesday Light Up the Night Parade.
The march steps off at 7 p.m. at Washington and Broadway and travels west to 14th street. Perfect for the partyer with a limited attention span, the parade features about 20 floats and lasts only 20 minutes or so. Saturday's Grand Parade, in contrast, lasted about 2 1/2 hours.
Participating floats include some of this year's best including the Mystic Knights of the Purple Haze's award-winning tribute to the Justice League, the Krewe of Calypseaux's colorful recreation of the Grinch's "Whoville" and the Banana Bike Brigade's cycling Nemos.?
Many Washington Avenue bars and restaurants are hosting parties and drink specials. There are no official Mardi Gras events in Soulard though neighborhood bars will be celebrating with live music.?
Forecasters are calling for chilly temperatures and a chance of rain.?
