Mead Rd. Mardi Gras Parade & Party Saturday for Good Cause

"Throw me something, Mister!"If you think that is something you'll only hear in New Orleans, think again!!

Oakhurst has quietly been establishing its own Mardi Gras tradition for almost 10 years.

So grab your beads, decorate your bike, scooter or soap box derby car and come second line as we bring a little bit of Carnival to Decatur.

So save the date!! Saturday March 1st The parade begins at Harmony Park at 2pm. Β 

We'll parade up Mead Road to The Imperial, at the corner of Mead and West College, for the party. And the party will go on for as long as people are there to celebrate!!Β 

Beads will be provided and The Imperial will feature a special menu of red beans and rice, chicken and sausage gumbo, crawfish etouffee, bread pudding and Abita beer. Proceeds will support Decatur Education Foundation music grants for the Decatur City Schools.
