Clarendon Alliance’s Mardi Gras Parade

What an amazing time at Mardi Gras Parade in Clarendon!
I am telling you I live in the best neighbourhood ever :-)

This is as good as it’ll get in the DC area. Big shouts to Kim V and Rob for organizing the Unilocal Krew! Had a blast walking down Wilson and throwing beads and Unilocal swag to the crowds. It’s a family-​friendly affair and a lot tamer than the NOLA original, but it’s cool to see local businesses gear up and having a good time. Hopefully next year’s event can be even bigger!

What a blast last night! I got to participate in the parade with the Unilocal Krew.
Kimberly V. did an excellent job putting together our Unilocal vehicle… her delightful Honda Civic. We had all sorts of masks, beads, and head gear to sport while ‘marching’ in the parade. I should have brought my own supply of Mardi Gras beads I had accumulated in previous years. I will remember to do that next year.
There was a huge crowd turn out. I had such a wonderful time with this, and so did everyone else by the looks of it. I think the only down side to this is we ended up giving out the beads before the parade route was over. Oh well, it happens.
I can’t wait to do this again next year. Also the bonus, this is a great event for people of all ages!
