Beads, Creole food, live music, beads, costumes, more beads, and King Cake in Long Beach, California? That’s right, Mardi Gras isnt just for New Orleans anymore! King Jefe has thrown this party for the past ten years, and for 2009 hes opening it up to the public. With live music from New Orleans natives, Kenny Sara and the Sounds of New Orleans, as well is the Dixiedelics, a traditional five-piece Dixieland Jazz band, youd think you were on Bourbon St.
Come out to the Pine Avenue Pier in Rainbow Harbor, Long Beach on Saturday February 21st from 6-11pm. Enjoy food, music, dancing, and of course, beads! Because who says you have to be in the Big Easy to enjoy Mardi Gras?
