The 21st Annual Cajun & Zydeco Mardi Gras Ball
You don’t really need to be in New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras. As partyers around the world realize, the Crescent City’s annual bash is merely a state of mind — it can happen anywhere. The local celebrations, especially the Cajun & Zydeco Mardi Gras Ball, always put a big pile of music in our collective lap, so it’s easy to catch the spirit. This time ’round — the 21st time ’round! — the exclamation comes barreling along in the form of Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic, Jeffrey Broussard & the Creole Cowboys, and headliners Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys. Of course, when the Playboys take the stage at Rhodes-On-the-Pawtuxet, 60 Rhodes Pl, Cranston, the swoop of their zydecajun storm will provide plenty of old-fashioned thrust. And come hungry: there will be Cajun-inspired delicacies from Russell Morin Caterers. The revelry runs from 6 pm to midnight | $35 advance, $40 door | 401.783.3926 | mardigrasri.com
with music by Steve Riley & Mamou Playboys, Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic, and Jeffrey Broussard & the Creole Cowboys + and Cajun-inspired food by Russell Morin Caterers | 6 pm-midnight
