Cajun Country Running Mardi Gras
About Cajun Country Running Mardi Gras
This particular 5th day birthday celebration isn't your ordinary concept of Mardi Gras with beads and doubloons. In fact you might not find these trinkets in sight, but alternatively, males and females on horseback donned in hand crafted twine mask, tall hats referred to as capuchons, and really specific costumes. This one of a type celebration starts offevolved the Friday earlier than Mardi Gras Day, but the fundamental occasion is the Courir de Mardi Gras procession or "chook run" which includes chasing a live bird to collect for a community gumbo, and silliness by using revelers all day.
Throughout the weeked, revel in the city's rural traditions with jam classes, avenue dances, cooking demos, Mardi Gras exhibits and a special Liberty Theater display. Les Jeunes and L'il Mardi Gras runs for kids are on Sunday in addition to an old time boucherie. The Eunice Courir de Mardi Gras dates lower back from when the town became first mounted within the late nineteenth century. The Courir became abandoned for a few years at some stage in World War II, but in 1946 a small band of riders revived the tradition. Today, the Eunice Courir de Mardi Gras has more than 2,000 participants at the run, and it continues to boom each year.
