Local Events for March 2014

Mardi Gras Comes to the Beach

 

March is not only the month for the Shrimp Festival and St. Patrick's Day, it's also the month for Mardi Gras and even though Fort Myers Beach is more than 500 miles from the Big Easy, the folks over at the Cottage are planning another shindig worthy of Bourbon Street. On Tuesday, March 4th, the good times will be rolling all day, so get out your purple and gold beads, folks, and get ready to party!  Mardi Gras, which is French for Fat Tuesday, is the last day of the season of Carnival. Carnival begins after Twelfth Night, January 6th, and ends on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.  To read more: http://www.islandsandpaper.com/teaser2.aspx
