There will be a beauty pageant for kids.
This year they have tried to make the event more 'children' friendly than in years past. There will be pet rescue groups, the Humane Society will be there and there will be street vendors, THis year there will be carnival rides.
days of amusements. The addition of a carnival and daytime activities cater to kids and families, while the street party, which goes on late into the evening, is more for adults.
Dogs are welcomes, on leashes of course and they can participate in a costume parade.
There will also be a special masquerade party for $18 in advance. Tickets can be purchased at the Cocoa Civic.
Now, I'm sure that our Mardi Gras will pale in comparison to the real Mardi Gras in that John Walters' told us about in Louisiana.
But, I think it will be a great time for all.
