Festival draws crowds
Mardi Gras of Southeast Texas hosted its annual celebration at Doggett Ford Park, Feb. 28-March 2. The event featured a plaza area and food court featuring festival themed Mardi Gras food such as king cakes, funnel cakes, gumbo and boudin balls.
The plaza included inflatable castles, face painting and balloon twisting. Multiple live bands performed and there was also an arts crafts novelties section around the venue.
Of course, no Mardi Gras festival would be complete without parades throughout the weekend, where people could catch beads thrown from a variety of colorful floats.
