Mardi Gras On Main
Bring the whole 'krewe' and join us in celebrating the spirit of Mardi Gras!
We’re going cajun, Main Street style, with NOLA inspired food & drink, retail specials & sales, and the return of the Mardi Gras Scavenger Hunt all weekend long.
Discover hidden Mardi Gras masks at participating businesses, let an employee know where they are, and be rewarded with beads! Access the participant list by way of QR codes on event posters throughout town. A supply of maps with the list is available at the Welcome Center. The fun starts at noon, beads are available while supplies last.
On Saturday, and once covered in beads, head up Main Street to Carnival at the Bin, Wine Bin that is. Find live music by local favorites and perhaps a little zydeco too. Enjoy gumbo, muffulettas and more as well as a beer, wine and hurricane garden. It all happens in a heated party tent from 2 to 7 pm. Admission is free, food and drink proceeds benefit Voices for Children.
Come to OEC where our good times will roll up and down Main Street, “Laissez les bons temps rouler”!
