Springhill Main Street Director Amie Poladian is passing along the most up-to-date information on this weekend’s festivities in the parish’s northernmost city.

“We are having Mardi Gras on Main Street in Springhill this Friday, January 26 from 5 until 9 p.m.,” Poladian said. “Our night parade will roll north on Main Street, turn right at Clinic Street and head South on 1^st Street ending in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot.”

The Grand Marshal this year is Bell Oaks, Inc.

“We are so excited to help give them this platform for some much-deserved community recognition.” she added.  “We’ll be having Springhill’s 1^st Annual Mardi Gras event there on South Main Street. There will be caricature drawings, face painters, food trucks, jugglers and stilt walkers, a balloon artist and more.”

Deejay Krystal “Chica” Montez will set the spirit with a street dance on top of all the other festivities. “We hope to see everyone down there tailgating with us and enjoying the feeling of Mardi Gras right here at home,” said the Springhill director. “We’d love to have you as a judge for the Mardi Gras on Main Parade if you are available! Judges would have to sit together while the parade rolls by and choose their top three entries. Winners will be announced at 8:00PM by the DJ and plaques will be given to 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place winners.”

Let the good times roll!
