Athens to Host Mardi Gras Parade This Monday

The Athens Alabama Arts League is set to host a festive Mardi Gras Parade along with a mask-making activity for children this coming Monday. Originally planned for Tuesday evening, the event was rescheduled due to forecasts of inclement weather. Attendees can look forward to a variety of activities, including the opportunity to create their own masks, participate in a food drive, and enjoy offerings from local food trucks. The highlight of the evening will be the “Marching Into The Light” parade, which promises to be a vibrant celebration. The festivities will kick off at 6:30 p.m. in the heart of downtown Athens.
