Downtown Dots on Mardi Gras Day:
Be on the lookout in Downtown as the annual Mardi Gras Day Parade takes over the dots. This annual event, typically held on Mississippi Avenue, will take over Polka Dot Downtown on Tuesday, February 16th! So be sure to follow the Square on Facebook and Instagram to learn about when to mask up and head Downtown on February 16th to see traditional Mardi Gras performances and events ‘pop up’ on the Dots Downtown.
