Let the good times roll at the Mysti Krewe of Nimbus’s annual Portland Mardi Gras Parade. Folks dress up and dance along Mississippi Avenue as Krewe members toss decorated, mini-umbrella “throws” to lucky participants at this family-friendly event. Many restaurants along Mississippi will offer food and drink specials on Fat Tuesday, both before and after the parade.
Pro tip: Bring the family to the Kid’s Costume Pageant at Luke’s Frame Shop on Albina before the parade. The pageant starts at 5:45 pm, and folks can join the parade as it rolls by at 7 pm.
The parade starts at North Skidmore, and proceeds down Mississippi to N Fremont, beginning at 7 pm.
