2. Mardi Gras Texas Style Feb. 6
You don’t have to be Catholic to know it’s once again the season for Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday will come and go, but if you can’t make it to New Orleans for this year’s event, don’t fret, it’s coming to you.
Texas really knows how to put on an all-out Mardi Gras event, complete with crawfish, king-cakes, and, of course, lots and lots of beads! There will be four stages jam packed with live country music stars for everyone to enjoy. This is an authentic style Mardi Gras event, so you may want to leave the kids at home. New Orleans may be famous for Mardi Gras, but, remember, everything’s bigger in Texas.
