The weather in Fresno this weekend is expected to be sunny and warm. This makes it a great time to enjoy some of the outdoor activities that Fresno has to offer. With clear blue skies and sunshine, it’s a great time to get out and enjoy all that is Fresno. We’ve got quite a few great things for you to do this week!
Tower District’s 25th Annual Mardi Gras Parade
Mardi Gras, which means “Fat Tuesday” in French, is a festive celebration that takes place annually before the beginning of the Christian season of Lent.
Mardi Gras in New Orleans is marked by parades, parties, and masked balls, and it is known for its colorful costumes, elaborate floats, and lively music. The festival is steeped in tradition and symbolism, with different colors, costumes, and decorations representing different aspects of the celebration.
The 25th Annual Mardi Gras Parade returns to the Tower District Sunday, February 19th @ 1pm.
The parade makes it way down Olive Avenue in the historic Tower District from Palm to Maroa. Food and drink specials at local businesses, lots of decorations, beads and VIP parade seating at select locations.
Did you know: The colors of Mardi Gras, are purple, green, and gold, which are said to represent justice, faith, and power, respectively.
The FresYes Explorer
For this week’s mission we’re heading to The Crawfish Guy. We’re keeping with the Mardi Gras theme, right?
They are located at 5730 N First St, Fresno, CA 93710
Start by picking your seafood. There’s a big chalkboard with everything available. They probably have crab available – you might even have a choice of King, Snow or Dungeness, add Clams, Mussels or whatever hits you. For us, it has to be the Crawfish.
Next pick your seasoning. They have Garlic Butter, Lemon Pepper, and Cajun but we’re going to suggest “Allsome Sauce” which just knocks it out of the park! Now pick your heat level. We were more than happy with Medium but you can go anywhere from Mild to Extra Spicy. You do you.
As a bonus, get an order of Garlic Noodles. You won’t regret it!
