February 12-14 : Carnival Season 2010 On Friday, February 12, college cheerleaders and classic cars will kick off the 17th anniversary of Alexandria’s family-oriented Mardi Gras weekend. The 3rd annual College Cheerleaders and Classic Cars Parade will begin at 4:30 PM. This parade will follow the same route as Saturday’s annual Children’s Parade, in downtown Alexandria, and will consist of classic cars paired with college cheerleaders from colleges and universities in Louisiana & Arkansas. Each year the Alexandria Mardi Gras Association chooses persons of distinction, who have had positive impacts on the quality of life in Louisiana, to serve as parade Grand Marshals. The 2010 Grand Marshals are to be announced. The goal of the AMGA is to provide a cultural event, appealing to all cross sections of the community, state, and region, to help stimulate the economy. 2010 Mardi Gras weekend events are sponsored by the AMGA, the City of Alexandria, the Alexandria/Pineville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Greater Alexandria Economic Development Authority, and American Airlines. For additional information, contact AMGA president, Zina Ford. |
