Help build this year’s Mardi Gras float!

Our float this year is a Viking longboat.

There will be work sessions beginning Saturday, Jan. 3 and every Saturday through Feb. 14, weather permitting.

What does a Mardi Gras Viking wear?

 Get your costume ready for the Mardi Gras parade!

You can shop local thrift stores for Viking attire. Some pirate costumes can be repurposed. Not all Viking helmets had horns. Google "Viking attire" for costume ideas or watch Viking episodes on Netflix. 

You don't need to sign up, just show up.

Check the details below as the location has changed.
