Families are invited to a children’s Mardi Gras run – “Courir des Enfants” – that is set for Monday, March 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Breaux Bridge.
Children parade with their families through the streets, with the children decked out in Mardi Gras costumes, singing and playing Cajun music on fiddles, guitars and percussion, while “begging” for and receiving gumbo ingredients from homes along Washington Street skirting Bayou Teche.
The children chase and catch a chicken along the parade route and share gumbo and dancing afterwards at TCA, located at 210 E. Bridge Street.
Children, parents and grandparents are welcome to share in the festivities.
Participants will meet in front of St. Bernard Catholic Church, 204 N. Main Street, at 9:30 a.m.
Admission is $5 for the run, gumbo and entertainment.
