Toga Sunday (Definitely)...Super Sunday (Maybe)

Happy Sunday!!

Hope you're having a lovely weekend, and our enjoying your Sunday with fun Summer stuff!

And yes, it may be a little later than usual this year...but it's also Super Sunday on Bayou St. John and Orleans!!! (Okay there's a rumor it might not be going on....but isn't that the mystery of the Mardi Gras Indians.)  Head on down there between 1:00 and 3:00 pm...and there's a chance you might see some beautiful costumes...but if they're not there don't get mad at me :) and you can always head down to Broad and Orleans...

This weekend is also the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club elections for their Mardi Gras court at 1:00 pm....Members have been campaigning since March, and it's an affair that will take over Broad and Orleans Ave. While voting is limited to members, come out and enjoy the festivities on the neutral ground....This should definitely be going on...yea!!!

It's the final day of the fabulous Greek Fest (on the corner of Robert E. Lee and St. Bernard) and it's also Toga Sunday!! If you wear a Toga you get in free, and there's gonna be a with this year's Greece on the Bayou...Went there last night, and there is plenty of food, music, dancing and crafts!  Make sure you stock up on some ouzo - OPA!!
